Phyllo cheese strips

By Phillippa Cheifitz

Serves 40 to 50

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 30 minutes

Cooking Time 8 minutes

Ingredients

6 phyllo pastry sheets
3 T olive oil
1 free-range egg, beaten
3 T sesame seeds

For the cheese paste, mash together:

100 g feta, crumbled
160 g Parmesan, grated
100 g chevin
4 T mascarpone
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Method

Preheat the oven to 190°C.

Sandwich 2 sheets of phyllo pastry with olive oil. Cut in half lengthways.

Spread a third of the cheese paste on one half. Cover with the other half, pressing down to seal.

Slice into strips. Place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Brush lightly with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Repeat until you have used all the pastry.

Bake until golden and crisp – about 8 minutes, but start checking after 5 minutes to ensure they don’t overcook.
