Method

Before you begin this Filo Pastry recipe, take your Filo Pastry out of the refrigerator and bring it up to room temperature.

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius and line a baking tray with baking paper.

Heat the olive oil in a pan and fry the leeks, garlic and pine nuts on a medium heat for 5-6 minutes until soft and translucent. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and allow to cool. Season with salt and pepper, add the parsley and crumbled feta and mix well. Set aside.

Lay one sheet of pastry with the shorter edge facing you and brush with olive oil. Repeat this process with 3 more sheets until you have a stack of 4 sheets .

Spread half the leek mixture over the Fillo stack ensuring it covers the whole stack. Brush another 4 sheets of Fillo to make a stack and place this on top of the leeks. Add the remaining leek mixture and top again with another 4 sheets of Fillo brushed with olive oil.

Gently roll up from the short side and place on a baking tray, seam side down. Brush with beaten egg and top with sesame seeds. Cook for 25 minutes or until golden. Allow to cool for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
