Ingredients

  • 175 grams Greek feta, in one rectangular or square piece approximately 1/2 inch thick approximately 6 ounces
  • 2 sheets filo
  • 2 tbsp olive oil, for brushing approximately
  • 3 tbsp honey, for drizzling or more, to taste
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Lay out one sheet of your filo dough and brush it with olive oil. Place the second sheet on top of it, and brush it with olive oil as well.
  • Pat your feta dry and then place it in the bottom and middle of your filo sheets. Leave approximately 3 inches of space at the bottom end (see photo)
  • Fold the bottom edge of your filo over your feta and then fold in the sides.
  • Flip your feta over to begin wrapping it; whenever you see filo that has not been brushed with olive oil, do so. See video here.
  • Once your feta has been completely wrapped, transfer it to a parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Cook in the middle of your oven for approximately 15 - 20 minutes.
  • Once the filo is golden brown, remove from the oven and drizzle with honey and then sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  • Serve immediately.
