Servings: persons

4 phyllo pastry sheets
1 ounce butter, melted
1 tablespoon oil
12 tomatoes, Rosa, small, cut up (the small plum tomatoes)
6 olives, pitted, finely chopped (green or black)
1 teaspoon garlic, finely chopped
9 leaves basil, large, finely sliced
1/4 cup spring onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
1 pinch flaked sea salt
coarse black pepper
1 -2 tablespoon dried breadcrumbs (optional)
9 slices ham, Black Forest ham (or Parma ham, use thin air-dried ham or fried bacon or mozzarella cheese)
3 tablespoons vinaigrette dressing (homemade or shop-bought)

1
First, prepare and mix together the tomatoes, olives, garlic, basil, spring onions, parsley, and add salt and pepper sparingly. Mix well and cover the bowl.
2
Preheat oven to 350 deg F/180 deg Celsius.
3
Open out the 4 phyllo sheets (one on top of the other, as it comes).
4
Using a round utensil considerably larger than the muffin hollows, cut out circles right through the 4 thicknesses of the pastry. Brush each circle (4 per hollow) with the melted butter and oil, and press into 9 muffin hollows.
5
Sprinkle some dried breadcrumbs over the pastry cups, if you like.
6
Bake the phyllo cups for 5 - 7 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool before carefully removing.
7
(All this can be done ahead, but keep the salad chilled and the cups airtight).
8
To serve, fill the phyllo hollows with the salad. Top each with a rolled slice of ham (or bacon, or mozzarella).
9
Drizzle with a little vinaigrette at the last moment before serving (to prevent the phyllo pastry from getting soggy).
