Let's all agree that the combination of scallops and leeks is a winner, right? Make it even crispier for the holidays by adding it to filo pastry sheets! An ultra-simple homemade recipe, tested and approved by the entire Ptitchef team of course ;-) For your Christmas appetizer, New Year's buffet, or any festive event, this easy idea will kick off the festivities in style!

Ingredients

• 6 filo pastry sheets
• 1/2 leek
• 5 oz scallops (without the coral)
• pine nuts
• olive oil
• 1/2 lemon

Materials

• Muffin mold
• Cookie cutter (8 cm in diameter)

Preparation

• Brush some olive oil on a filo pastry sheet. Place another one on top and brush again with olive oil. Cover with a final sheet of filo pastry and brush with olive oil.
• Using the cookie cutter, cut circles from the stacked filo sheets. Press each circle into a muffin mold (no need to grease it).
  
• Bake for 10 minutes at 350°F (180°C).
• Wash and slice the leek. Sauté it in olive oil until tender.
  Place some sautéed leek into each filo shell.
  
• Sauté the scallops in hot olive oil until nicely browned.
• Place scallops in each shell, and add some pine nuts. Finally, drizzle a few drops of lemon juice into each shell.
  
• And there you have it, your crispy scallops in filo pastry are ready! They should be consumed immediately.
