Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 sheets Phyllo dough sheets
- 300 grams Feta cheese
- 150 grams Mozzarella cheese
- 1 bunch Parsley
- 1 large Egg
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, crumble the feta cheese and grate the mozzarella cheese. Mix them together thoroughly.
Wash and finely chop the parsley, then add it to the cheese mixture.
Crack the egg into the bowl and stir to combine. Add the salt and black pepper, adjusting the seasoning to your taste.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave, then mix it with the olive oil.
Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean work surface and brush it lightly with the butter-oil mixture. Place another sheet on top and brush again. Repeat this process until you have a stack of 3 sheets.
Cut the stacked phyllo sheets into 3 equal-width strips, lengthwise.
Place about 1 tablespoon of the cheese and parsley mixture near the bottom of one strip. Fold the dough over the filling to create a triangular shape, then continue folding the triangle up the strip until fully wrapped. Repeat with the remaining strips.
Continue the process with the other phyllo dough sheets and remaining filling.
Place the triangles on the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down. Brush the tops lightly with the butter-oil mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm as an appetizer or alongside a salad for a light meal.
