320g feta cheese
2 tablespoons chilli flakes
3 tablespoons sesame seeds

Method

Before you begin this Fillo Pastry recipe, take your Filo Pastry out of the fridge to bring it up to room temperature in its packaging.

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius, fan forced.

Brush two 12 hole muffin tins and one 6 hole muffin tin with butter.

Slice the feta cheese into long strips, approximately 1-1.5cm in thickness. Place the stack of Fillo Pastry on your workbench. Cut in half lengthwise to create two stacks. Brush the top sheet of each stack with butter. Sprinkle each stack liberally with chilli flakes and sesame seeds. Position the feta cheese along the length of the pastry, approximately 1.5cm from the edge, on each stack. Fold the bottom edge of the pastry over the feta and roll firmly to create a long log. Repeat with the second stack of pastry. Using a sharp knife, slice each log into 15 pieces. Transfer each piece to a hole of the muffin tin. Pour one tablespoon of butter over each piece carefully, so that the butter drizzles over the rolled pastry.

Bake for 35 minutes or until the pastry is golden. Remove from the oven and allow to sit for five minutes before transferring each bite to your serving platter. Drizzle with honey and top with black sesame seeds.
