Crispy Bundles filled with Mushrooms
Crispy bites with an explosion of creamy mushroom flavour. The salsa ai funghi adds a nice tomato twist but these bundles are also delicious without it. If you have a family member who doesn’t like the texture of mushrooms, this recipe should be fine because you slice the mushrooms very finely.

A general pack of filo pastry will give you 10 bundles, but if you want to have exactly 2 for each person, buy two packs. You can keep the leftover filo pastry in freezer.
Also filo pastry is a very thin style pastry. Handle it with care so it doesn't break. Want to take a short cut? The filling is also tasty in pre-baked pastry cups.
Make the bundle filling the day before and keep in the fridge.
Once baked, easy to take along, but then serve cold. We don't recommend to heat again otherwise the bundles will be too hard.
