Local white cheese or feta that's baked in a crispy filo parcel before being drizzled with honey is an appetiser or hot mezze often found in Greek restaurants. This side dish combines the crispiness of baked filo with creamy melted cheese. Finished with honey and chilli, this is a simple but delicious twist on the classic.

Instructions

a) Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

b) Remove 4 sheets of filo pastry from the fridge and bring to room temperature. TIP: Keep the remaining filo sheets for another recipe.

c) Once at room temperature, lay the filo sheets flat on the counter, covered with a damp tea towel.

d) Lay 1 sheet of filo pastry on a board, brush with a little oil, then lay another sheet on top and brush with some more oil. Pop 1 block of the Greek style cheese halfway along the filo’s short edge

a) Sprinkle half the lemon & herb seasoning over the cheese.

b) Drizzle over a quarter of the honey. TIP: If your honey has hardened, put the sachet in a bowl of hot water for 1 min to loosen.

c) Roll the cheese up in the filo, folding in the edges before the last fold.

d) Repeat with the remaining filo, cheese, lemon & herb seasoning and another quarter of the honey, creating 2 filo wrapped cheese parcels. Save the remaining honey for the next step.

a) Transfer your pastry wrapped cheese to a baking tray, with the seams facing down. Brush the top layer of the pastry with olive oil, then bake on the middle shelf of the oven until crispy and golden, 15-20 mins.

b) Meanwhile, combine in a small bowl the chilli flakes and remaining honey.

c) Once baked, transfer the filo wrapped cheese to a serving dish and drizzle over the chilli honey to finish.
