Cheese Boereks
Ingredients
- 6 ounce cream cheese
- 6 ounce feta cheese
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs
- pinch salt
- 2 tablespoon milk
- 1 cup parsley chopped
- 2 tablespoon dill chopped
- 1/2 pound phyllo dough
- 1/4 pound butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 deg F. Mix first 7 ingredients into a smooth paste. Fold in herbs. Melt butter. Cut phyllo dough sheets into thirds lengthwise. (Only bring out what you are using, cover the rest with a towel to prevent drying.) Brush a segment with melted butter, place a teaspoon of filling centered on the lower edge. Roll once or twice, then fold in thirds around the filling. Continue rolling up until it looks like a mini-egg roll (brush with butter to seal, if needed). Place on a well-buttered baking sheet. Prepare boereks until you run out of dough or of filling. (I ended up with about 1/2 c extra filling. I suppose you can make them into pierogies, too!) Brush surface of boereks with more melted butter. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
