Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Cut the feta block in half horizontally, then cut each half into two equal pieces lengthwise, resulting in 4 rectangular portions. (2 minutes)

03

Step

In 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

Step

Lay 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

Step

Place two feta pieces side by side on the brushed phyllo, about 4 inches from the bottom edge. (1 minute)

06

Step

Fold 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

Step

Fold 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

Step

Brush 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

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the phyllo is golden brown and crispy, approximately 20 to 25 minutes. (20-25 minutes)

10

Step

Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Drizzle generously with honey just before serving. Serve warm and enjoy! (5 minutes)

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.
