Step-by-step
- Heat the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/400°F/gas mark 6.
- Heat 1tsp of olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Sauté the chopped garlic for 1 minute.
- Add the chopped mushrooms, sauté until golden and there is little moisture remaining. Then add the chopped pears and continue to sauté until they've taken on some colour. Set aside to cool.
- Stack two of the filo sheets, with the widest edge facing you, brush with some melted butter. Dot a heaped teaspoon of mushroom and pear mixture in three places, leaving space between for the twists. Sprinkle with crumbled Stilton.
- Roll up the filo from the bottom, cut into three parcels and twist the ends to seal.
- Brush with a little more butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Repeat with the remaining ingredients and bake for 10 minutes.
