Today I propose to you pastries made with filo dough. A specialty of Moldovan and Romanian cuisine, commonly referred to as "Placinte." These pastries are most often served as an appetizer, preferably warm (they reheat very well), otherwise at room temperature. However, they are also perfect for breakfast or a snack, for a buffet, a picnic, or a lunch box.

Preheat the oven to 200°C, static heat.
Prepare a large baking tray measuring 40*28 cm with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine all the filling ingredients to achieve a smooth texture.
Lightly brush a sheet of filo with oil. Add another sheet on top and oil it as well, then a third one.
Spread 1/5 of the filling (about 3 tablespoons) over 3/4 of its surface, then roll. Place on the baking sheet.
Prepare the other 4 rolls in the same way.
Brush the rolls with oil.
Bake for about 35-40 minutes or until they are nicely golden brown.
Finally, cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rest for 10 minutes, then slice and serve. You can also serve them at room temperature.
