Kitchen Towels

Cut the filo in half across the width to make 2 squares. With one corner pointing towards you (so you are looking at a diamond shape rather than a square), spoon 2 tbsp of the filling just below the centre line and shape into a log.

Brush the pastry edges with egg, then fold in the 2 side corners. Keeping your fingers on the corners, bring the bottom corner up over the filling towards the centre, then roll up tightly towards the top corner. Its important to roll as tightly as possible, so the spring rolls cook evenly. Repeat with the remaining filo sheets and filling.

Recommended wine: Sparkling Rose, Sparkling Wine

Sparkling rosé and Sparkling Wine are my top picks for Spring Rolls. If you're serving a selection of appetizers, you can't go wrong with these. Both are very food friendly and complement a variety of flavors. You could try Sophora Sparkling rosé. Reviewers quite like it with a 4 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 15 dollars per bottle.
