Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 sheets Phyllo dough sheets
- 200 grams Feta cheese, crumbled
- 100 grams Ricotta cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1 large Egg
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine crumbled feta cheese, ricotta cheese, parsley, dill, and the egg. Mix well to form a smooth and creamy filling. Season with salt and black pepper.
Place one phyllo dough sheet on a clean surface. Lightly brush it with olive oil and then layer a second sheet on top, brushing it with olive oil as well. Repeat until all 6 sheets are layered.
Using a sharp knife, cut the stacked phyllo sheets into 12 equal rectangles.
Spoon about a tablespoon of the cheese mixture onto the edge of each rectangle. Roll the phyllo over the filling, tucking in the sides as you go to form a neat roll.
Place each roll seam-side down on the prepared baking tray. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
Allow the Kalitsounia rolls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
