Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Total time: 30 minutes
Servings: 2
Ingredients:
1 Pomegranate
6 Filo pastry sheets
2 tbsp Unsalted butter (melted )
150 g Goat cheese (or any soft cheese)
1 tbsp Runny honey
Recipe:
- Preheat the oven to 180C/160c fan/4 gas mark and line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Wash the pomegranate under cold water. Slice the pomegranate in half across the middle, then hold it cut-side down in your hand over a bowl. Take a wooden spoon and tap firmly on the top of the pomegranate to release the seeds and catch them in the bowl. If needed, cut the pomegranate in quarters and repeat.
- On a clean work surface, gently layer a sheet of filo pastry. Brush with the melted butter and then top with another sheet. Brush the top with butter and repeat with a third filo pastry sheet.
- Gently spread half of the cheese along the long edge of the filo pastry sheet. Now gently roll the filo pastry up and over the cheese loosely to create a log. Spiral the log into a spiral shape. Don't worry if the dough tears at some places, it will be fine. Place the spiral onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining filo pastry sheets.
- Bake the spirals for 20-25 minutes or until lightly golden and crisp. Remove from the oven and drizzle with honey. Top with some of the pomegranate seeds and serve warm.
