Method

1.Melt 20g of the butter in a medium frying pan over medium heat. Add leek; cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until soft. Transfer to a bowl; cool.
2.Add the feta and parsley to the leek; mix until well combined.
3.Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Line an oven tray with baking paper.
4.Microwave remaining butter in a small microwave-safe bowl on high power for 30 seconds or until melted. Brush 1 sheet of pastry lightly with the melted butter. Fold in half length-ways. Place 1 tablespoon of the leek mixture at the short end, leaving a 2cm border. Fold in the sides and roll up firmly to enclose.
5.Place, seam-side down, on prepared tray. Brush with a little butter. Repeat with the remaining filo, butter and leek mixture.
6.Bake filo cigars for 15 minutes or until golden. Serve immediately.
