Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (16 oz) phyllo dough, thawed
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix feta, cream cheese, dill, egg, and black pepper until smooth.
- Melt butter and keep a pastry brush ready. Unroll phyllo and cover with a damp towel.
- Cut phyllo into 3-inch strips. Brush one strip with butter, layer a second on top, and brush again.
- Place a teaspoon of filling at one end and fold into a triangle, continuing until all filling is used.
- Arrange on the baking sheet, brush tops with butter, and sprinkle with sesame seeds if using.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden and crispy.

- Feta can be swapped with goat cheese or ricotta.
- Prepare ahead and freeze unbaked for future use.
