How to make the filling for these pies

These little pies are filled with simple and quick to make filling. You will need YELLOW ONION (finely chopped or grated), POTATOES (thinly sliced) and BUTTON MUSHROOMS (also thinly sliced).

We used WHITE BUTTON MUSHROOMS, but cremini will also work well in this filling.

First fry the chopped onion for a few minutes then add sliced potatoes and mushrooms. Cook stirring for 3-4 minutes, then add water and continue to cook while stirring. Don't forget to season with salt and pepper and add the fresh rosemary. Our pie filling is ready!

Some useful tips for working with filo dough

  • Don't open the filo package until you have the filling ready. Also keep filo sheets covered with clingfilm and then with a lightly damp clean kitchen towel as they dried out easily. As you work with one sheet at a time, cover the the rest.

  • Use a soft pastry brush to lightly coat the sheets with oil.


These are the best warm but also delicious cold. You can re-crips them by placing back in the oven for 5-6 minute at 180 C.
