Marissa's MediterraneanCrispy, golden phyllo pastry wrapped around salty feta cheese and finished with a drizzle of sweet honey and toasted sesame seeds. The ultimate salty-sweet bite!
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Getting the oven hot early ensures the pastry puffs up perfectly.
Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and brush lightly with melted butter. Fold it in half lengthwise, brush again, and place a block of feta at the bottom.
Keep the remaining phyllo covered with a damp cloth so it doesn't dry out!
Roll the feta up in the phyllo, folding in the sides like a small burrito. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet and brush the top with more butter. Repeat for all pieces.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the pastry is deeply golden brown and crispy.
Keep an eye on them; phyllo goes from golden to burnt quickly!
Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle with honey while still hot. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and a pinch of dried oregano.
The heat from the pastry helps the honey soak in just a bit.
Make sure to use a high-quality, creamy feta for the best texture. If you want a little extra kick, a pinch of red pepper flakes in the honey works wonders! Serve these immediately while the phyllo is shatteringly crisp.
