Instructions
- The night before making your individual baked phyllo coated feta cheese, make sure to remove your phyllo dough from the freezer. Allow thawing in the fridge.
- Preheat the oven to 375F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Melt the butter and set it aside. Alternatively you can use olive oil instead of butter.
- It is best to keep your phyllo dough moist, so I suggest laying it out flat then covering with a damp cloth.
- Gently place one sheet of phyllo dough onto a flat surface. This is a very delicate ingredient, so be patient.
- Brush the entire phyllo sheet with melted butter or olive oil, using your brush, then repeat that step with one more sheet. You will have 2 sheets layered.
- Place one feta slice on top of 2 layered sheets of phyllo, toward the bottom of the sheet, at the shortest end. Wrap the feta with the phyllo, wrapping up and towards the center, wrapping the feta away from you to create a package of phyllo wrapped feta. Set on the baking sheet.
- Repeat entire process three more times with 2 sheets of phyllo and 1 slice of feta cheese each so that you have four phyllo wrapped packages on the baking sheet.
- Brush the tops of each phyllo feta package with more melted butter or olive oil.
- Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. If you notice the bottom of the phyllo is golden but the top isn't, flip carefully and cook a few more minutes.
- Remove from the oven and drizzle with your desired amount of honey, sesame seeds, fresh oregano or thyme and chili flakes. Enjoy!
