Here’s a delicious and elegant Crinkle Feta Cheese Phyllo (Filo) Pie recipe—a crispy, flaky, and savory pastry filled with creamy feta cheese. It’s perfect as an appetizer, snack, or side dish!
Ingredients:
-
8-10 sheets phyllo dough (thawed if frozen)
-
1 ½ cups feta cheese, crumbled
-
½ cup ricotta or cream cheese (for creaminess)
-
1 egg, lightly beaten
-
2 tbsp fresh dill or parsley, chopped
-
1 tsp dried oregano
-
½ tsp black pepper
-
½ cup unsalted butter, melted (or olive oil for a lighter version)
-
1 tbsp sesame seeds or nigella seeds (optional, for topping)
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line with parchment paper.
-
Make the filling – In a bowl, mix feta, ricotta, egg, herbs, oregano, and black pepper until well combined.
-
Prepare the phyllo sheets – Lay one sheet flat and brush lightly with melted butter. Place another sheet on top and repeat until you have 4-5 stacked layers.
-
Add filling & crinkle – Spoon the feta mixture in a line along the longer edge of the phyllo stack. Fold the sides inward, then roll loosely (not too tight, to allow for crinkles).
-
Shape into a spiral – Coil the roll into a loose spiral (like a snail shape) and place on the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining phyllo and filling.
-
Brush with butter – Generously brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds (if using).
-
Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
-
Cool slightly before serving—best enjoyed warm!
Tips:
-
Keep phyllo covered with a damp towel to prevent drying.
-
Variations: Add spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, or olives to the filling.
-
Make mini versions for bite-sized appetizers.
This crispy, cheesy phyllo pie is a crowd-pleaser! Perfect with a drizzle of honey or a side of Greek salad. 😊🧀✨
