Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180C. Melt the butter and let it cool.
- Grease the holes of a deep muffin tin.
- Put 3 filo sheets on top of each other and cut out about 10 x10 cm squares. Put them on a plate and cover with a dump kitchen towel.
- Lay a filo square on a chopping board, brush it with the melted butter, then add another square on top, slightly turned. Brush this with butter too then put another square on top, again angled.
- Put this shape into one of the tin holes, slightly pushing down with your fingers.
- Repeat with the rest of the filo squares, then the other 3 sheets. You should get 12 filo cases.
- Bake for about 8 minutes or until golden all over. Let them cool in the tin for a couple of minutes, then carefully remove them to a platter.
- Meanwhile, mix the cream cheese with lemon zest an herbs. Add a drop of lemon juice. Chop a few pieces of the salmon into tiny bits, and mix these with the cream cheese.
- When the filo cases are completely cool, fill them with the cream cheese mixture, then lay a couple of the torn smoked salmon pieces on top. Serve with freshly ground peppercorn, lemon zest and a drop of lemon juice.
