Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Stack two of the filo sheets. With a widest edge facing you, brush with some melted butter. Put three brie fingers at even intervals across the bottom of the filo. Top each finger with 1 tsp cranberry sauce, then sprinkle over a few chopped walnuts.

  • step 2

    Roll up the filo from the bottom. Cut into three parcels, and twist the ends to seal. Brush with more butter and sprinkle with poppy seeds. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Bake for 10 mins. Or, cover the unbaked twists with cling film, chill for up to 1 day and bake just before serving.

I prepared this the day before but they were not as good as when I prepared them just before baking them on the same day. Very good though and certainly a show stopper!

Really delicious little parcels, although I think I made mine a little on the big side! I did chop into 18 as instructed, so next time I think I’ll just use 200g Brie.

Ooh, just seen this! I'd like to repeat Whirlwind's question ref freezing. When I get my kitchen back (extension) I'll test that theory and freeze uncooked and then prob cook from frozen so the filo doesn't dry out during defrost. Has anyone done this and can report back?
