Unfold the filo pastry and cut into thirds lengthwise, using scissors and cutting through the stack in one go. Keeping any pastry you’re not working with covered with clingfilm, remove one sheet at a time and brush with melted butter. Fold the 2 long sides towards the middle, making a strip measuring about 4cm x 22cm and brush with more melted butter. Place a teaspoon of the cheese mixture at the bottom left corner of the strip. Pick up corner with the filling and fold over to form a triangle. Continue folding over from side to side into neat triangles until you reach the end of the strip. Brush the finished triangle with butter, place on an ungreased baking sheet and repeat with the rest of the pastry until you’ve used all the filling.

Preheat the oven to 220C/gas 7 and bake for 12-14 minutes until the pastry is golden brown. Serve warm.
