Description

Ingredients
Scale
- 7–8 ounces Feta cheese (block)
- 1 pack Phyllo pastry
- 1–2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- Honey, to taste
- Sesame seeds, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Pat dry the feta cheese and cut it into 12 equal cubes.
- Cut phyllo pastry into 4-6 pieces, about the width needed to wrap a feta cube comfortably.
- Lay down one sheet of phyllo pastry and brush it lightly with extra virgin olive oil.
- Place a feta cube at one edge of the phyllo. Fold the pastry over the feta, then brush the seam with oil.
- Roll the feta cube tightly in the phyllo, using more oil as needed to ensure it adheres and becomes crispy. Secure with a toothpick if necessary.
- Arrange the wrapped feta bites on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving space between them.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden brown and crispy. Watch closely to prevent burning.
- Drizzle the warm baked feta bites with honey and sprinkle with sesame seeds just before serving.
Notes
- Best enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in a 375°F (190°C) oven for about 10 minutes to regain crispness.
- Phyllo pastry can be delicate; if it tears, layer a small piece of another sheet on top and brush with oil.
