Filo Cheese Pastries
Servings: 12
Directions
- 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly oil muffin tin. In blender or possibly food processor, puree cheeses. Add in egg and blend mix well.
- 2. By hand, stir dill, parsley, and garlic into cheeses. Spoon mix into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Chill while proceeding with next steps.
- 3. Stack sheets of filo dough on a clean, dry surface. Brush each sheet with 1 tsp. melted butter, and lay buttered sheets one on top of another. Cut piled sheets into 24 squares of 2-1/2 inches each.
- 4. Press squares into muffin tin c., and spoon 1 Tbsp. cheese filling into each. Fold edges of filo over filling and lightly brush top of each filo pastry with remaining butter.
- 5. Bake for 12 to 15 min, watching carefully so which pastries don't burn. Remove from tins, and let them cold slightly before serving.
