For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the feta before wrapping it in phyllo. If you don't have sesame seeds, poppy seeds or everything bagel seasoning make great alternatives. Ensure the phyllo dough is fully thawed before using it to prevent tearing. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor experience.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (5 minutes)
02
StepCut the feta block in half horizontally, then cut each half into two equal pieces lengthwise, resulting in 4 rectangular portions. (2 minutes)
03
StepIn a small bowl, whisk together the egg, melted butter, and olive oil until well combined. This mixture will be used to brush the phyllo layers. (3 minutes)
04
StepLay 2 sheets of phyllo dough on a clean, flat surface. Brush evenly with the egg mixture, covering about 75-80% of the surface. This helps create a crispy, golden-brown crust. (4 minutes)
05
StepPlace two feta pieces side by side on the brushed phyllo, about 4 inches from the bottom edge. (1 minute)
06
StepFold the bottom edge of the phyllo over the feta and brush with the egg mixture. Fold both sides of the phyllo towards the center, aligning with the edges of the feta. Brush again with the egg mixture to seal. (5 minutes)
07
StepFold the remaining phyllo up and over, creating a neat, square package. Ensure the seam is underneath. Repeat this process with the remaining phyllo dough and feta pieces. Transfer both phyllo packets to the prepared baking sheet. (10 minutes)
08
StepBrush the tops of the phyllo packets with the remaining egg mixture, then sprinkle generously with sesame seeds for added flavor and texture. (2 minutes)
09
StepBake in the preheated oven until the phyllo is golden brown and crispy, approximately 20 to 25 minutes. (20-25 minutes)
10
StepRemove from oven and let cool slightly. Drizzle generously with honey just before serving. Serve warm and enjoy! (5 minutes)
