Scale

6 sheets frozen filo pastry (thawed)
50 g butter (melted)
250 g brie (cut into long slices)
275 g cranberry sauce
1/4 cup almond flakes
1 tbsp black sesame seeds

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 180 C / 350 F and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
Place thawed filo sheets on a flat surface. Cut each sheet into three lengthways and then in half widthways to create 36 squares.
Lay out one pastry square, brush with melted butter, add a slice of brie, a teaspoon of cranberry sauce, and almond flakes at one end. Roll tightly and seal the ends.
Repeat with remaining squares, place on baking trays, brush with remaining butter, sprinkle black sesame seeds on top, and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
Let cool slightly before serving and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
