- Makes 6

- 6 sheets filo pastry
- 50g baby spinach leaves
- 6 cherry tomatoes, quartered

Method:
- Preheat the oven to 180C. Lightly grease 6 large muffin cups. Spray a non-stick frying pan with oil and cook the bacon until lightly browned. Cool slightly.
- Lay out one sheet of filo and spray with oil. Fold into thirds crossways, then spray again. Fold in half to make a rough square. Place the pastry into one muffin tin. Repeat with remaining pastry.
