Ingredients
- 2 Tbs butter Kerrygold brand
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, crushed
- Approx 450gms 1 pound of zucchini, trimmed and grated (shredded)
- 2 Italian parsley a small handful, finely chopped, 2.5 tablespoons
- 1 tsp dill or use fresh about 2 tsp, dried
- 1 tsp oregano dried
- Pinch chili flakes
- 100 cheddar cheese grated, Kerrygold mature
- 1/3 cup Greek yoghurt 80 ml
- 1 egg large free-range
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice fresh
- salt
- black pepper
- 8 phyllo pastry sheets of
- butter Kerrygold, melted, about 1/4 cup, for brushing pastry
- sesame seeds optional, to sprinkle on top
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large non-stick pan and cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for about another minute over low heat.
- Add the grated zucchini to the pan and sauté until soft about 3 minutes. Add the chopped parsley, dill, oregano, chill and salt and pepper. Allow the mixture to cool
- In a bowl lightly beat the egg and yoghurt and then add the grated cheese.
- Add the cooled zucchini mixture to the cheese and yoghurt mixture and set aside in the fridge to firm up for about an hour. This can be made in advance.
- When you are ready to bake the pies, gently remove two sheets of phyllo pastry from the packaging – cover the remaining pastry with a clean, damp tea towel to prevent it from drying out.
- Separate the pastry sheets and lightly brush one with melted butter, then place the unbrushed sheet on top.
- Cut the pastry sheets vertically into four equal pieces or, if you want to make smaller pies, five pieces.
- Brush the strips with butter leaving the bottom bit where the filling goes unbrushed.
- Place a dollop of the cheese and zucchini mixture (about a dessert spoon full) at the bottom end of each piece of pastry and fold over to form a triangle.
- Continue to fold the parcel over as you work your way up the strip of pastry, maintaining the triangle shape. Repeat with the other sheets of pastry.
- Lightly brush all sides of the triangle pies with melted butter. Sprinkle over sesame seeds if you are using them.
- Preheat the air fryer to 180C/350F and depending on the size of your basket cook these in 2 – 4 batches for 12-14 minutes until golden. Check after 12 minutes.
- Enjoy on their own or with tzatziki on the side to dip.
Notes
- To bake these in an oven, preheat to 180C / 350 F and place the pies on a lined baking sheet, brush with melted butter and bake for 20 – 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
