PHYLLO WITH FRESH CHEESE AND MINT

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield about 24 pastries, serving 8 to 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups fresh mizithra cheese or whole-milk ricotta
1 large egg
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
1/4 cup sugar
Generous pinch of cinnamon
1/2 pound phyllo, defrosted and at room temperature
6 ounces sweet unsalted butter, melted and clarified
1/2 cup honey

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the cheese, egg, mint, sugar and cinnamon.
  • Unroll the leaves of phyllo and slice the stack in half lengthwise. Put the two piles of pastry leaves together into a single stack.
  • Lift one leaf of the phyllo off the stack, place it on a work surface, and brush it lightly with the melted butter. Top with a second leaf of phyllo, brush the top lightly with butter, and fold the two leaves together lengthwise, forming a strip 2 to 3 inches wide. Place a tablespoon of the cheese filling at one end of the strip, then lift a corner of the strip over the filling until the point of the corner meets the opposite edge of the strip, making a diagonal fold at the bottom of the strip and a triangular enclosure for the filling. Continue folding the strip with the filling from corner to side as if you were folding a flag, until you reach the end of the strip. Place the filled triangle, seam side down, on a baking sheet and continue making filled pastries until all the filling and phyllo are used. There should be a little of the butter left.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Brush the tops of the pastries with the remaining butter and sprinkle them with a little water.
  • Place them in the oven and bake about 15 minutes, until the pastry is golden. Warm the honey in a saucepan while the pastries are baking.
  • Allow the pastries to cool about 10 minutes, transfer them to a serving platter, drizzle them with honey, and serve while still warm.

Yield Makes about 16 stuffed triangles

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 lb/225 g ricotta, fresh semisoft farmer's cheese, or Mexican queso fresco
1 large egg
Heaped 1 Tbsp finely chopped fresh cilantro
4 sheets phyllo dough or warqa, plus more in case of breakage
Olive oil for brushing
1 egg yolk, whisked
Honey
Light olive oil or vegetable oil for frying
1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

  • In a medium mixing bowl, blend the cheese, egg, and cilantro with a fork.
  • On a clean, flat work surface, unroll the phyllo sheets. Cut into strips about 3 in/7.5 cm wide and at least 9 in/23 cm long. Arrange a couple of the strips facing away from you; cover the remaining strips with plastic wrap to keep them from drying out. Lightly brush the strips with olive oil.
  • Place 1 Tbsp of the cheese filling on the end of each strip closest to you. Fold over to form a triangle, then fold again to form another triangle, and so on to the end. Brush the end of the triangle with egg yolk and fold the loose end over the brushed yolk. Place the triangles on a plate without letting them touch. Repeat with the remaining phyllo strips and cheese filling.
  • Have ready 6 dessert plates. Place a generous dollop of honey in the middle of each.
  • In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat at least 1/2 in/1.25 cm of oil until the surface shimmers. Reduce the heat to medium. Working in small batches, gently place the phyllo triangles in the oil and fry, turning once, until firm and golden brown, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.
  • Place 2 or 3 rolls on each plate, drizzle with honey, and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve hot.
