Ingredients
- olive oil
- 8 sheets filo pastry
- 2 x 400 g tins haricot beans
- 1 tbsp harissa paste
- 1½ tbsp tomato purée
- 1½ tsp + 1½ tbsp red wine vinegar, divided
- 4 large free-range eggs
- 40 g Cheddar cheese
- 2 tsp sesame seeds
- 2 mixed-colour capsicum (peppers) (about 320 g)
- 2 spring onions
- 1 bunch dill (20 g)
- 3 tsp extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F/gas 6).
- Spritz 2 sheets of filo with olive oil, line up the two short sides so they slightly overlap, then scrunch up lengthways and twist into a nest about 15 cm wide, making sure it has a base. Place on an oil-spritzed baking tray. Repeat with remaining filo.
- Drain the beans, toss with the harissa, tomato purée and 1½ tsp red wine vinegar, then divide evenly between the filo nests. Crack an egg onto each one, season with sea salt and black pepper, grate over the cheese, then divide and sprinkle over the sesame seeds. Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
- Meanwhile, deseed and very finely chop the capsicum (peppers). Trim and finely chop the spring onions. Finely chop the dill. Mix together, then dress with 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar, 3 tsp of extra virgin olive oil and a good pinch of salt.
- Serve the egg filo twists with the salsa on the side.
