- Sunflower or olive oil spray
- 3 x 45g sheets filo pastry
- 250g mixed cherry tomatoes, halved
- Handful basil leaves, torn, plus extra, to serve

Method
- Heat oven to Mark 5/190C. Place onions on a small baking tray and spray with oil. Cook for 10 mins.
- Place eggs in a pan of warm water, bring to the boil and cook for 4 mins. Drain and place in cold water. Once cooled, peel and shell.
