This was made by Naomi Crisante on James Reeson's Alive and Cooking. I did a savoury version using a herb and garlic cream cheese. It was also suggested you could do a sweet version using fruit filled cheeses. These creams cheeses come in 200 gram round packs in Australia and for this recipe a South Cape brand of Savoury Cream Cheese was used. Suggested you serve with a tomato salsa.

SERVES 12 , 12 fingers (change servings and units)

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 220°C.

    Cut savoury cream cheese into 12 wedges and then roll each into a log shape.
  3. 3
    Working with one piece of filo at a time (keep rest covered to prevent drying out) brush with butter and then place a cheese log on the short side and foll up into a cigar shape, folding in the edges to enclose the cheese.

    Brush with butter and place on a baking tray, proceed and make the other 11.

These are good! You can make whatever flavor you want depending on the cream cheese you choose. I made some with chive and onion cream cheese. they were crispy on the outside and the cream cheese melted just enough that they were creamy not runny. I sprinkled a little bit (probably 1/2 tsp) poppy seeds on them. Made for Fall 2009 PAC.
