Savoury & Sweet Mini Filo Tarts

Savoury & Sweet mini Filo Tarts

These recipes are for 6 tarts, to fit a large muffin tray - but you can adjust size, scale & ingredients to suit taste, mood, seasons, etc. This will use around a quarter of a pack of filo, so upscale if you want to use it all. (You can freeze before baking.)
