Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 sheets Phyllo pastry sheets
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large Egg
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Place one phyllo pastry sheet in the prepared baking dish and brush it lightly with melted butter. Repeat this process with 3 more phyllo sheets, layering them one on top of the other, brushing each with melted butter.
Evenly spread the ricotta-Parmesan filling over the layered phyllo sheets.
Cover the filling with another phyllo sheet, brushing it lightly with butter. Repeat with the remaining 3 phyllo sheets, continuing to brush each layer with melted butter.
Using a sharp knife, score the top layers of the phyllo into squares or your desired serving sizes. This will make cutting easier after baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden brown and crisp.
Remove the dish from the oven and allow the squares to cool for 5 minutes before slicing along the scored lines.
Serve warm as an appetizer or snack. Enjoy!
