Leek & Parmesan Phyllo Slice
- 6 phyllo pastry, frozen, defrosted
- silicon paper, to line the baking sheet
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 250 g freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 5 leeks, thoroughly washed, white part of, sliced into matchsticks
- 4 garlic cloves, crushed

- Preheat the oven to 160C.
- Brush the pastry sheets with a little melted butter, one at a time.
- Then place one sheet on a lightly greased, baking sheet lined with silicon paper.
- Sprinkle evenly with Parmesan and place another sheet on top of the first sheet.
- Repeat this process with the remaining phyllo, leaving the top sheet plain, and cook in the oven for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
- At the same time, melt the butter in a large non-stick pan and gently saute the leeks and garlic until they softish, taking care not to allow them to brown.
- Add the wine and allow it to almost completely reduce; then add the chives, season the leek mixture to taste and mix well.
- When pastry is ready, remove it from the oven and gently press down the centre with a spatula, leaving a slightly thicker outer border.
- Spread the leek mixture evenly over the top of the pastry and sprinkle it with a little more parmesan.
- Serve with salad greens.
