Ingredients

• 12 sheets Phyllo dough sheets
• 300 grams Feta cheese
• 150 grams Mozzarella cheese
• 1 bunch Parsley
• 1 large Egg
• 100 grams Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, crumble the feta cheese and grate the mozzarella cheese. Mix them together thoroughly.

Step 3

Wash and finely chop the parsley, then add it to the cheese mixture.

Step 4

Crack the egg into the bowl and stir to combine. Add the salt and black pepper, adjusting the seasoning to your taste.

Step 5

Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave, then mix it with the olive oil.

Step 6

Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean work surface and brush it lightly with the butter-oil mixture. Place another sheet on top and brush again. Repeat this process until you have a stack of 3 sheets.

Step 7

Cut the stacked phyllo sheets into 3 equal-width strips, lengthwise.

Step 8

Place about 1 tablespoon of the cheese and parsley mixture near the bottom of one strip. Fold the dough over the filling to create a triangular shape, then continue folding the triangle up the strip until fully wrapped. Repeat with the remaining strips.

Step 9

Continue the process with the other phyllo dough sheets and remaining filling.

Step 10

Place the triangles on the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down. Brush the tops lightly with the butter-oil mixture.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm as an appetizer or alongside a salad for a light meal.
