Clean and wash the rabbits then soak them in fresh water for an hour. Drain then cover with salted ater and boil for 30 minutes. Drain and cool then shred the meat off the bones. Butter a 29 cm spring form cake tin and sprinkle with the bread crumbs. Line the tin with the filo pastry.
Cheese sauce

Meanwhile add to the milk the onion, nutmeg, pepper corns, and bayleaves and leave to steep for an hour. Strain then add to the butter and flour stirring constantly to stop any lumps forming. Add the cheese and melt into the mixture.
Mix together the shredded rabbit, cooked macaroni, cheese sauce, shallots and parsley then pour into the cake tin. Cover with the rest of the pastry and make a steam hole in the middle. Brush the top wih the egg yolks.
