Camembert Phyllo Parcels
If you're stuck trying to think of a good canapé or starter these parcels are a great idea. They require almost no cooking and the prep time is quick as well. The gooey camembert is accompanied by a sweet cranberry jelly and the entire crispy parcel is served on a bed of prosciutto and peppery rocket.

Brush the melted butter onto the puff pastry and place 2 wedges in the centre of the each stacked sheet and top with a generous teaspoon of cranberry. Scrunch the edges of the pastry towards the middle and squeeze tightly to form a small parcel.
