Ingredients

diced pancetta 70g
spring onions 4, finely chopped
eggs 4, beaten
parmesan 25g, finely grated
butter 25g, melted
filo pastry 3 sheets, cut into 8cm squares

Method

Step 1

Heat the oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Cook the pancetta in a non-stick pan until it gives up its fat. Add the onions and cook until softened. Cool, then put in a bowl with the eggs and cheese. Season and mix well.
Step 2

Brush 2 x 12 hole mini-muffin tins with butter. Take 3 or 4 pieces of filo and lay over each other, overlapping to make a star. Brush with butter then push into a hole to make a pastry cup. Repeat until the holes are filled. Divide the egg mix between them and cook for 15-20 minutes until set and golden.
