Ingredients
  • 5 ounce Lancashire Cheese, Grated
  • 4 Spring Onions, trimmed and sliced
  • 2 tbsp Wholegrain Mustard
  • 2 oz Butter
  • 6 Sheets Filo Pastry
  • 1 tbsp Poppy Seeds
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 200&# 194;°C/400ðF/Gas Mark 6.
  2. 2
    In a mixing bowl, combine the grated Lancashire cheese, sliced spring onions, and wholegrain mustard. Stir until well blended.
  3. 3
    Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
  4. 4
    Lay out one sheet of filo pastry on a clean work surface. Brush lightly with melted butter and place a second sheet on top. Brush with butter again and add a third sheet to create a stack of three.
  5. 5
    Repeat this process with the remaining three sheets of filo pastry to create a second stack of three.
  6. 6
    Cut each stack of pastry into six strips, approximately 3 inches wide.
  7. 7
    Spoon a small amount of the cheese mixture onto the wide end of each pastry strip.
  8. 8
    Fold the pastry over the filling at a triangular angle to cover the filling. Continue folding the pastry over itself in a triangular pattern until the strip is used up, sealing the edges with a little water if necessary.
  9. 9
    Arrange the 12 triangular parcels on a baking sheet.
  10. 10
    Brush the tops of the triangles with the remaining melted butter and sprinkle evenly with poppy seeds.
  11. 11
    Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crisp.
  12. 12
    Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Note

Keep unused filo pastry covered with a damp cloth while assembling to prevent it from drying out.

If you don't have Lancashire cheese, you can substitute with Cheddar or a similar semi-hard cheese.

These triangles are best served warm but can be eaten at room temperature.

To reheat leftovers, place them in a preheated oven at 180ðC/350ðF for about 5-10 minutes to restore crispness.
