Filo Pizza


I have recently developed a love for all things wrapped in filo dough. I love the flaky layers, so today I tried a new recipe. I created little filo pizzas. It was relatively simple using goat cheese, fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, filo dough and butter. The butter is used as glue to hold the individual filo sheets together. I used five to six layers of filo dough and then placed some cheese and tomato that was lightly salted and wrapped it all up.
I baked them for about ten minutes at 400 degrees.
And as and extra topper I added a bit of avocado for good looks and taste!
