Red onion and goats cheese filo tarts

for each one
1/2 sheet filo pastry ( from frozen pack)
1 tbsp of Syn free onion marmalade ( recipe on earlier page)
2 babybel goats cheese
frylight

cut the 1/2 sheet of filo in to 4, spray with frylight and place in to a yorkshire pudding tray, turning each sheet to form a 'star' shape.
place the onion marmalade in the centre. place 1 babybel in the centre and cut the other into 5 pieces and place around the edge.
Place in pre heated oven at 200c for 10 - 15 mins

The filo sheet is 3 syns and the babybel are 3.5 each....... but i used them as a HEA ( not sure if they really are, but they are in my house..lol)
so i ate it as a HEA and 3 syns

Just looked it up, the goats cheese ones arent listed online, but the normal babybel are 2 for a HEA and the emmental babybel are also 2 for HEA.... so thats good enough for me

They were YUMMY. I got the Babybel goats in Sainsburys, but its the usual hunt through your own supermarkets to see what they do. Your looking for GREEN babybel.

Hi,
YES it was yummy, you cant really taste the yogurt, my house mate who is very fussy ate it and said it was ok. (and a 'ok' from her means a lot!)
