Crispy halloumi filo

A stunning festive appetizer !

These stunning halloumi pastries are not only visually stunning but also delicious with a cheesy core and crispy pastry exterior! I used the new LKK Yuzu Flavoured Chilli Sauce to shake up the spice! The  lovely tangy and spicy flavour of these pairs amazingly with the halloumi.

These pastries make for a lovely appetizer or starter for a dinner pastry or now that the festive season is approaching a Xmas meal. They are also ideal since they can be prepared in advanced and just need to be baked or airfryed once you are ready to enjoy them.

Ingredients

• 1 pack of filo pastry

• 100g halloumi cheese 

• 100g shredded mozzarella 

• Lee Kum Kee’s Yuzu Chilli sauce

• Olive oil or melted butter

Method

• Take your halloumi cheese and grate it into shreds with the coarse side of a grater into a bowl

• Prepare the filo pastry by cutting it into squares of approximately 15x15cm with a pair of scissors

• Into a muffin tin place 4 pieces of filo pastry by alternating them with each other. Once you have placed the last layer of filo brush them with some melted butter or oil

• Take your LKK Yuzu Chilli sauce, give it a good shake and add a dollop of the sauce into the middle of the filo pastry. Then add some of your shredded halloumi and mozzarella (I like to do 60/40) cheese. With your hands close the pastry over the cheeses by scrunching it.

• Air fry / bake until golden and then enjoy with some extra Lee Kum Kee Yuzu Chilli sauce sauce on the side! For airfrying I recommend 175C for 12-15 minutes until they turn golden brown. For the oven bake at 180C for 15-20 minutes instead.
