Mini Phyllo Feta Bites are crispy, flaky phyllo dough pockets filled with tangy, creamy feta cheese and fresh herbs. These easy-to-make appetizers offer a perfect blend of crunch and bold flavor, ideal for parties, snacks, or elegant gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale

Phyllo Dough & Butter

  • Phyllo dough sheets (thawed as per package instructions)
  • Butter, melted (for brushing)

Filling

  • Feta cheese, crumbled
  • Fresh herbs (dill or parsley), finely chopped
  • 1 egg (to bind filling)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, crumble the feta cheese and combine it with finely chopped fresh herbs. Add the egg to bind everything together, mixing until smooth and well incorporated.
  2. Prep the Phyllo Dough: Thaw the phyllo sheets according to package instructions, then gently separate and stack them. Brush each sheet lightly with melted butter to ensure a crispy, golden finish once baked.
  3. Assemble the Bites: Cut the phyllo sheets into small squares, about 3×3 inches. Place a spoonful of the feta filling in the center of each square, then carefully fold and seal the edges to form little packets or cups.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Place the assembled Mini Phyllo Feta Bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, then bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.

Notes

  • Handle phyllo gently and keep covered with a damp towel to prevent drying and cracking.
  • Brush butter evenly between layers for crisp texture and golden color.
  • Do not overfill the bites to avoid sogginess or bursting.
  • Use room temperature cheese and egg for a smoother filling.
  • Serve warm for best flavor and crispness.
