Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

  

• 140 g Organic Cotswold Brie cheese, Simon Weaver
• 400 g Filo Pastry
• 50 g 50g Butter Melted
• 4 Melted Figs Quartered
• 6 Sprigs Thyme
• 1 Tbsp Black Bee Honey
• 1 Pinch Smoked Sea Salt Flakes

Method

 

1. Preheat the oven to 200˚C. Cut the filo into 10cm squares and use them to line a greased muffin case. Overlap the square sheets by rotating every 45˚ to form a flower shaped parcel. Brush melted butter between each layer and repeat.
2. Once the filo pastry has all been used, fill the tart cases with a slice of ripe fig and a few pieces of diced brie sprinkled with chopped thyme. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the cheese melts and the filo is golden brown. 
3. Remove from the oven and whilst still warm drizzle with honey and sprinkle each parcel with a pinch of smoked sea salt.
4. Serve warm with a chilled glass of Sharpham rosé to accompany.
