Makes 12

Ingredients

4 spring onions, finely chopped
200g small scallops
200g crab meat
80g cockle meat
zest and juice of 1 lemon
2 tbsp chopped fresh dill
4tbsp crème fraîche
Halen Môn and black pepper
4-5 sheets of filo pastry
25g melted butter

Method

Heat oven to 180C/Gas 4. Grease a 12 hole tart tin with melted butter.

Chop the spring onions and put in a bowl with the scallops roughly chopped, the crab and cockle meat, zest and juice of the lemon and dill. Pour over the crème fraîche and mix lightly. Season with salt and pepper.

Cut the filo sheets into squares slightly larger than the holes in the tart tin. Place one square in the tart tin, brush with melted butter and repeat with two more squares of filo placing at different angles to make a star shape.

Spoon the seafood filling into each hole and bake in the preheated oven and cook for 15-20 minutes, until the filo is crisp and golden and filling set. Serve immediately.
