- Phyllo pastry
Seasoning and Garnish:
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Honey

Instructions
- Warm the oven to a crisp 400°F, preparing a stage for delectable pastry parcels.
- Gently blot feta cheese with absorbent towels, transforming the block into precise, uniform cubes.
- Unfurl a delicate phyllo sheet onto a clean work surface, artfully slicing it into manageable rectangles that will cradle each cheese morsel.
- Delicately paint a thin layer of olive oil across a phyllo segment, creating a lustrous foundation for wrapping.
- Position a feta cube at the shorter edge of the oiled phyllo sheet, carefully folding the sides to embrace the cheese completely.
- Roll the phyllo tightly around the cheese, creating a compact parcel that will crisp beautifully in the oven.
- Secure each bundle with a slender toothpick to maintain its elegant shape during baking.
- Brush the exterior of each parcel with an additional whisper of olive oil, ensuring a golden, glossy finish.
- Arrange the wrapped morsels on a parchment-lined baking tray, allowing space between each bite.
- Slide the tray into the preheated oven, allowing the parcels to transform for 10-15 minutes until they reach a rich, amber crispness.
- Carefully extract the baked bites, embellishing them with a luxurious drizzle of honey and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.
- Serve immediately, presenting these crisp, golden treasures while they remain warm and perfectly textured.
Notes
- Crafted using delicate phyllo pastry, these morsels transform simple cheese into an elegant party favorite.
