Fig and goat cheese pastries

I concocted this recipe as a dessert for a family dinner, and it was very well received (especially by the boyfriend, who is an avid fan of figs).

Ingredients:

• 6 sheets of filo dough
• 4 figs, sliced
• 150g of goat's cheese, sliced
• a handful of chopped walnuts
• syrup

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Fold each sheet of filo dough in half, then fill with a slice of goat's cheese, a few slices of fig and some chopped walnuts. Drizzle with syrup. Fold the dough into little packs, if needed securing the top with a toothpick (don't forget to remove it later!)

Bake in a preheated oven for 5-10 minutes, or until the filo dough starts colouring. Serve drizzled with some more syrup. Can be served as a dessert, but also as an appetizer with a salad.
