Fried Feta Cheese Wrapped In Filo Pastry, With Honey And Sesame
Description
Fried Feta Cheese Wrapped In Filo Pastry, With Honey And Sesame begins by folding filo pastry and lightly moistening it to help layers stick as it encases a firm block of feta cheese. The parcels are fried in oil heated to medium-low so the filo crisps gradually without burning, resulting in a deeply golden and flaky crust. The feta inside softens under the heat, providing a creamy and tangy center. Honey is generously drizzled over the finished parcels and sesame seeds are sprinkled on top, adding sweet and nutty notes that complement the salty cheese and the crisp pastry. The recipe allows for optional use of black sesame seeds for variation in appearance and flavor. This appetizer or snack combines simple ingredients with contrasting textures for an approachable yet textured dish.
Ingredients
- 1 block feta cheese 100-150 grams and about 1, 5 cm thick
- 1 filo dough sheet
- cooking oil for frying
- honey
- sesame seeds
- Optional: black sesame seeds
Instructions
- Fold filo in half. Using a pastry brush, brush gently with water the filo all around. Do not overwet it.
- Place the block of feta close to the bottom end of filo.
- Wrap the feta into a parcel. Make sure you brush with water wherever is needed in order to stick together.
- Heat some frying oil in a pan (enough to cover the parcel by half) over medium-low heat.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until filo gets a deep golden color.
- Serve with plenty of honey and sesame seeds on top.
