Crab And Camembert Cheese In Filo Pastry

Posted 2014-12-16 by finyfollow

Crab and Camembert cheese - these are little morsels of an unusual combination, but one that left me wanting more.

They are really a mini quiche using Filo pastry, and are quite rich. I managed just four with a salad however could just not eat anymore even though I wanted to!

This is one of those meals that it is a bit more fiddly than many, however well worth the little extra work.

Preparation Time: 25 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Makes: 12 mini quiches

Ingredients
About 6 sheets [link http://reviewclue.com.au/borgs-frozen-fillo-pastry/ Filo Pastry]
50 g butter, melted
35 g butter, extra
Under ¼ cup [link http://reviewclue.com.au/white-wings-premium-plain-flour/ plain flour]
300 ml [link http://reviewclue.com.au/nestle-carnation-light-and-creamy/ Evaporated Milk] (Carnation)
Salt and pepper
2 x 170 g tins of [link http://reviewclue.com.au/crab-meat-by-always-fresh/ crabmeat], drained
125 g pack [link http://reviewclue.com.au/unicorn-camembert-cheese/ Camembert cheese]
2 egg yolks
2 shallots, finely chopped

Method
  • I find Filo pastry quite difficult to work with, and I had wanted to brush between each layer however as the layers stuck together, I just brushed where I could get to, and this made no difference to the finished product.

  • Layer the sheets of pastry and brush between each one with the melted butter.


  • Using a sharp knife, cut rounds to fit into your muffin baking tin. Place in the lightly oiled tin.
  • Do not worry that they look messy at this stage


  • Preheat the oven to 180° fan forced or 200°.

  • Melt the extra butter in a pan, add the flour and cook for about a minute, stirring all the time. Gradually add in the Evaporated Milk, salt and pepper (this recipe needs salt), and bring to the boil.

  • Stir and reduce heat and simmer about another minute.

  • Remove from the heat, and add the egg yolks, crab and the shallots.


  • Put this crab mixture gently into the prepared filo cases.


  • Slice the camembert cheese and put it on top of the quiches.
  • Do not slice too thick


  • Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes or until golden.


  • When slightly cooled, lift out of the tin and serve with salad or vegetables.
