Roasted Pepper, Onion, Cheese Filo Baskets

By Tejal Hewitt @Tejal_x

A quick easy party food creation. Filo is such a lovely pastry to work with, the added bonus is that it’s probably the healthiest pastry. I do buy the filo pastry, as not sure if could roll the pastry out as thin. These Roasted Red Pepper, Caramelised Onion Cheese Filo Baskets are great for an evening of nibbles and wine!

Chopped the red onions into small pieces. In a small pan, add oil and over medium heat sauté the chopped red onions. Keep stirring occasionally until the onion starts to caramelise and turn a deep dark color.

Meanwhile heat the oven at 200c and roast the red pepper by slicing into large chunks and place on a baking tray. Spray a little oil and roast for about 15-20 minutes.
