Work fast with the filo to avoid drying out.

Put one sheet of filo on a chopping board and cut into half placing the two halves into a cross on top of each other. You will end up with four strips and a central section
place one Portobello in the centre and then spoon in the filling (about 2 dessert spoons should do it).
fold each strip into the centre covering the mushroom, forming a filo parcel tucking any excess under the mushroom. Then brush the top with a small amount of melted butter.
Bake in the oven for about 15 mins – until the filo is crisp and golden.

Serve with vegetables or salad.
