Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Feta cheese
- 100 grams Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 clove Garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 10 sheets Phyllo pastry sheets
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, crumble the feta cheese finely with a fork.
Add cream cheese to the bowl and mix until smooth and combined.
Finely chop the fresh dill and parsley, then stir them into the cheese mixture along with the lemon zest.
Mince the garlic clove and add it to the bowl, then season with black pepper. Mix to combine thoroughly and set aside.
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, and stir in the olive oil.
Lay one phyllo sheet flat on a clean surface. Brush the entire sheet lightly with the melted butter mixture.
Place a second phyllo sheet directly on top of the first and brush again with butter.
Cut the stacked phyllo sheets into approximately 4-inch squares.
Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the feta mixture onto the center of each square.
Carefully fold the corners of each square toward the center to create a small bundle and press lightly to seal.
Repeat with the remaining phyllo sheets and feta mixture until all the filling has been used.
Place the nibblers on the prepared baking sheet and brush their tops lightly with the remaining butter mixture.
Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Feta Nibblers!
