Aubergine and Goats Cheese Pie
Ingredients:
- 1 packet of filo pastry, thawed, rolled out and covered with a damp cloth until needed
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
- 1 large aubergine, cut into small dice
- 1 tsp. fennel seeds
- 10-15 cherry tomatoes, cut in half lengthways

- 1 tsp. honey

- 1 egg beaten for egg wash
Method:
- Preheat the oven 200oC
- Put a pan on over medium heat. Add a little oil and add the onion and garlic. Cook this for about 5 minutes. Add the aubergine and fennel seeds. Cook this for about 5-7 minutes. At this stage the it all should have softened. Take this off the heat and mix in the tomatoes, goat’s cheese, 2 eggs, parsley and honey. Season this with salt and pepper.
- Brush oil over a pan, place 2-3 sheets of filo over the pan and allow it to overhang on the sides, place 2-3 more sheets over the pan in the opposite direction. Brush this with egg wash.
- Pour the aubergine filling on top of the pastry. Tidy up the edges of the pastry.
- Place this in the oven for about 20-25 minutes (Check it after 15 minutes, turn it down a little if it is browning too much).
- Remove from the oven, and allow to cool slightly. Serve with a green salad.
