Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 sheets phyllo pastry sheets
- 200 grams feta cheese
- 100 grams cream cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 100 grams butter
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Set it aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, cream cheese, eggs, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.
Lay out one phyllo pastry sheet in the prepared baking dish and brush it lightly with melted butter. Repeat this process with five more sheets of phyllo, brushing butter between each layer.
Spread the feta cheese mixture evenly over the layered phyllo sheets.
Top the filling with the remaining six sheets of phyllo pastry, brushing each sheet with melted butter as you layer them.
Using a sharp knife, score the top layers of the pastry lightly in a square or diamond pattern to make cutting easier after baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before slicing into squares.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Feta Squares!
