Looking for an easy party appetizer that's sure to be a crowd pleaser? These mini mushroom filo parcels only contain 7 main ingredients, but are absolutely delicious. Also perfect for making ahead and freezng. Just cook from frozen and add 5 minutes to the cooking time.

📝 Ingredients

• 14 ounces mushrooms (chopped very finely (pulse in a food processor))
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking (plus a few more tablespoons for brushing))
• 4 spring onions (sliced finely)
• 0.5 bunches parsley (finely chopped)
• 7 ounces spinach (wilted in a dry pan, water squeezed out & chopped finely)
• 1.5 teaspoons Italian herbs
• 5 ounces cream cheese ((I used garlic and herb flavoured))
• 8 sheets filo pastry ((I used a 13 ounce / 375 gram pack))
• salt and pepper (to taste)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Pan fry the chopped mushrooms in the olive oil until cooked down and water evaporated (about 10 minutes).
2. 2Tip the mushrooms into a bowl, then add the onions, parsley, spinach, herbs and cream cheese. Finally, add plenty of salt and pepper, then combine well.
3. 3Lay a sheet of filo pastry out on a wooden board or work surface and brush all over with olive oil. Lay another sheet of pastry on top.
4. 4Cut into 5 strips across the width. Place about a teaspoon of mushroom mixture at one end of a strip and fold over to make a triangle (see video). Keep folding the triangle over onto itself until the strip of pastry has all been used up.
5. 5Repeat with the other four pastry strips, then repeat until all the mushroom mixture has been used up.
6. 6Place on baking sheets, brush all over with olive oil, then bake at 355F / 180C for 20 to 25 minutes until browned and crisp.
