Ingredients
- 8 sheets Phyllo pastry sheets
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large Egg
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Step 3
Place one phyllo pastry sheet in the prepared baking dish and brush it lightly with melted butter. Repeat this process with 3 more phyllo sheets, layering them one on top of the other, brushing each with melted butter.
Step 4
Evenly spread the ricotta-Parmesan filling over the layered phyllo sheets.
Step 5
Cover the filling with another phyllo sheet, brushing it lightly with butter. Repeat with the remaining 3 phyllo sheets, continuing to brush each layer with melted butter.
Step 6
Using a sharp knife, score the top layers of the phyllo into squares or your desired serving sizes. This will make cutting easier after baking.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden brown and crisp.
Step 8
Remove the dish from the oven and allow the squares to cool for 5 minutes before slicing along the scored lines.
Step 9
Serve warm as an appetizer or snack. Enjoy!
