Method

Heat vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan until a bread cube sizzles and turns golden.

Brush two filo sheets with a mixture of beaten egg and cream and layer another sheet on top.

Cut the layered pastry sheets lengthways into eight even strips.

Combine gorgonzola, parma ham, thyme, and seasoning in a bowl.

Place a tablespoon of filling on each strip and fold into triangles, sealing with egg wash.

Deep fry the triangles in hot oil for five minutes until golden brown.

Drain parcels on kitchen paper and serve sprinkled with sesame seeds.
