Mediterranean Filo Parcels

If you happen to have some filo pastry left over, why not whip up a quick and yummy lunch of Mediterranean Filo Parcels

Mediterranean Filo Parcels

4 long sheets of filo pastry
Olive oil
6 Pancetta strips
Goats cheese grated
Basil leaves
4 Cherry tomatoes halved
Olives - black or green, sliced or if small add whole.

Pre heat the oven to 170/160c fan
Cut the pancetta into 3cm strips and gently fry until just cooked, this will only take a minute or so.
Line a baking sheet with baking paper. Lay two sheets of the filo pastry out on the baking sheet and lightly brush some olive oil over the tops.
Lay half of the pancetta strips in the middle of the filo pastry. Add half of the grated cheese, tear up some the basil leaves and place on the cheese, add half the tomatoes and olives.
Fold over one side of the filo pastry to cover the filling, repeat with the other side and bring in the sides. Lightly brush with olive oil and continue with the other parcel.
Place in a pre heated oven and cook until golden on top, about 10- 15 minutes.
