directions

  • Preheat the oven to 180 C or 350°F.
  • Grate the cheeses into a mixing bowl.
  • Add 2 of the eggs and then blitz to a purée using a hand blender.
  • Add the mint, nutmeg and black pepper (to taste).
  • Mix well.
  • Take two sheets of filo.
  • Brush one with melted butter and then lay the other directly on top.
  • Cut into strips about 5 x 20 cm.
  • Put 1 tablespoon of the filling in the centre of the strip, about 2 cm from the end.
  • Fold over one corner to form a triangle.
  • Turn in the edges by about 5mm and then continue folding over the triangle until you reach the end of the filo strip, buttering well with each turn.
  • Continue making pastries until you have used up all the mixture.
  • Arrange them on a baking tray.
  • Beat the milk with the remaining eggs and pour this liquid over the triangles.
  • Let the tray stand at room temperature until the liquid is absorbed.
  • Place a bit of cold butter on each triangle and bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden.

This is a picture of me and my husband in Portugal, climbing up above the clouds with our bikes. Right now we are travelling around the world on our bicycles, so I only pop onto Zaar occasionally, when internet connections and time allow me to. If I don't reply to a message about one of my recipes, now you know why! Our trip may take several years so if it's urgent, it's probably better for you to post in the forums ;) Good food is really important to me -- I am happy to pay extra for food that I feel is produced in a sustainable and ethical way and always try to eat using seasonal produce. When we were in the UK we rarely shopped at supermarkets, trying instead to favour small producers, although we were very lucky in that we lived in London and there was lots of choice. We also were fortunate enough to have a weekly organic veg box delivered to our door, filled with so many lovely vegetables for very little money. It really opened my horizons in terms of the variety of vegetables I eat. If you're in the UK, check out Riverford for a box supplier as they're amazing! When I'm not eating I love to take pictures and travel with my husband. <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/World%20Tour/ZWT2.gif">
