Ingredients

  • 270g pack filo pastry (7 sheets)
  • 125g/4½oz unsalted butter, melted, plus extra for greasing
  • 4 free-range eggs
  • 2 spring onions, thinly sliced
  • a small handful of fresh coriander, finely chopped
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1–2 tbsp sriracha, to taste

Method

Before starting this dish, make sure to preheat the oven to 210C/200C Fan/Gas 6.

  1. Brush a filo sheet generously almesl over with butter and roll up from the long side.

  2. Curl it in a loose spiral and place it in the center of a lightly greased 20cm round cake tin.

  3. Repeat with another filo sheet, brushing, rolling, and loosely coiling it around the swirl of filo already in the tin.

  4. Continue until you have used up all the filo and filled the tin to the edges. Brush the top with more melted butter and bake for 5 minutes, maybe 10 minutes.

  5. Meanwhile, beat the eggs in a jug with the spring onions, coriander, paprika, and salt.

  6. Pour the egg mixture all over the baked filo. Drizzle over the sriracha and bake for a further 15 minutes.

  7. Leave to cool for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
