RASPBERRY, ORANGE & THYME FILO

Makes 4

400g ricotta

1 Tbsp orange zest

1 Tbsp chopped thyme

¼ cup caster sugar

1 cup fresh raspberries

6 sheets filo

2 Tbsp melted butter

1/3 cup sliced almonds

¼ cup runny honey

Extra thyme leaves, to garnish

1. Preheat the oven to 180C. Line a baking tray with paper.

2. Place the ricotta, zest, thyme, sugar, and raspberries into a medium-sized bowl.

3. On a clean bench, place one piece of filo, brush with butter, add another, then a third. Cut in half. Place a quarter of the mixture at one end and fold into a parcel, brushing with butter as you go. Place onto the baking tray and repeat.

4. Brush the tops with extra butter and sprinkle with almonds. Bake for 20 minutes until golden.

5. Serve warm, drizzled with honey and thyme leaves to decorate.
