What you'll need...
- 6 sheets filo pastry
- 75g melted butter
- 4 tbsp cranberry sauce
- 100g brie, cut into cubes
- 120g chestnuts, finely chopped and toasted
- Poppy seeds
Method
Preheat the oven to 200C / 180C fan / gas 6. Line two baking sheets with baking parchment.
Unravel a sheet of filo pastry onto a chopping board, covering the remaining filo with a damp tea towel (this keeps it from drying out). Brush melted butter across the filo sheet and cut into squares that’ll fit into the shallow muffin tray. Place each at a slight angle to the one underneath, forming a star shape.
Spoon cranberry sauce and place a piece of brie and, if you wish, toasted chestnut on top. Sprinkle some poppy seeds if you desire.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Leave to cool on a wire rack and serve warm with an extra helping of cranberry sauce.
