# Ingredients:
→ Cheese Blend
01 -
1 cup shredded mozzarella
02 -
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
03 -
¼ cup parsley, finely chopped
→ Dough
04 -
8 phyllo sheets, defrosted
05 -
Water for brushing on dough
→ Cooking Oil
06 -
½ cup frying oil
# Instructions:
01 -
Set frozen phyllo dough out at room temperature for a couple of hours before starting.
02 -
Stir together parsley, mozzarella, and feta in a medium bowl until combined.
03 -
Lay out one phyllo sheet flat. Keep others covered with a damp towel so they don’t dry up. Brush the sheet lightly with water, add a second sheet on top, and brush again. Slice into four squares.
04 -
Place one square in front of you like a diamond shape. Scoop about 1½ tablespoons of the filling onto the bottom corner, leaving space on each edge. Fold up the bottom point, tuck in the sides, and roll it up snugly. Seal the end with water and repeat with the rest.
05 -
Warm oil in a deep pan, about 2 inches high. Fry the wraps in small groups for 5-7 minutes or until they turn golden. Let the oil drain off on paper towels before serving warm.
# Notes:
01 -
Keep unused phyllo covered with a damp towel so it stays moist and doesn’t crack.
