Quick Easy and Delicious Tomato and Egg Slice

This was a spur of the moment dish created after hunger drove us to the fridge from the garden wanting something a bit more than salad. This is really quick to assemble but you need to think a bit ahead for the cooking time but it gives you a chance to relax while it is cooking.

Filo pastry - at least 8 sheets but variable according to your appetite !

Grease an ovenproof dish or pan place one doubled over sheet of filo as a base, cover with another folded sheet of Filo pastry, brush on melted butter ( use the microwave to melt quickly) - if you wish add another several sheets of Filo. Work quickly as the Filo will dry out if you take too long.

Add several sliced tomatoes and two eggs per person , a handful of what ever herbs you have to hand - tarragon is great with it but parsley, basil is excellent too. Toss in a few slices of cheese ( feta is extra special) and cover with at least 4 sheets of folded over Filo. More Filo is optional !
Brush with butter and bake in a hot oven for around 40 mins. 200 degrees C
Serve with a green salad, lots of fresh herbs and if you are starving add a French loaf
Enjoy

  Need to take a plate ? But what to take .... Looking for a quick and easy snack to take for  Shared festive lunches  or to add to a  Barbeque meal ?   Crostini is  the perfect solution.  A plate of freshly topped crisp Crostini  colorful and mouthwatering will have people heading back for more and it doesn't need to cost a fortune to prepare either.  Once you prepare your Crostini they can sit there until you need them and them top them fast and easy with whatever you have in the pantry.   How to ?   Turn oven on to 190 Degrees on Bake while you prepare your slices.  Slice one or two French Sticks or Loaves thinly - how thin depends on how crisp you like your Crostini or how fast they will cook.  Make a few loaves at a time so you always some on hand.  Brush liberally with Olive Oil.  Rub bread with fresh garlic and add to the Olive Oil  *T ip: use oil that already has garlic added to make it easier or you can sprinkle with garlic salt before baking.

Silverbeet 'Cheesy' Chips

Image
Desperate for some Kale Chips and a garden full of Silver Beet had us experimenting again Man, we could almost taste those chips ! Topping to coat the Silver Beet Chips - a mix of Tamari, Tahini, Water, nutritional yeast, sunflower seeds and sesame seeds You can add salt like Himalayan if you like but taste it first as the Tamari and Nutritional yeast gives it enough salty taste. Coating the Beet with the dressing before dehydrating  Spreading out the Beet in the Dehydrator Trays - I am using a circular one here but a square larger one would work best if you do a lot of dehydrating ( and love Kale/Silver Beet chips!)  Get Dehydrators Finished chips ready and waiting to be demolished in double quick time
