Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 sheets phyllo pastry sheets
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup feta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or microwave; set aside for brushing the phyllo sheets.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, feta cheese, shredded mozzarella, egg, chopped parsley, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Unroll the phyllo sheets onto a clean surface and cover with a damp kitchen towel to prevent drying out.
Place one sheet of phyllo on the surface and lightly brush it with melted butter. Layer another sheet of phyllo on top and repeat the process until you have a stack of three sheets.
Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, slice the stacked phyllo sheets into 3-inch by 3-inch squares.
Spoon a small amount of the cheese filling (approximately 1 heaping teaspoon) into the center of each square.
Fold each square into a triangle by bringing one corner to meet its opposite corner, encasing the filling. Press the edges together firmly to seal, using a small amount of water to help if necessary.
Place the completed puffs on the prepared baking sheets and brush the tops lightly with olive oil for a golden finish.
Repeat the process with the remaining phyllo sheets and cheese filling.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the phyllo is crisp and golden brown.
Allow the puffs to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
