Hey everyone, it's TA in the Lish Kitchen Studios.
00:03
I love a baked brie, but I'm obsessed with this baked feta.
00:08
It is crispy on the outside, it is super soft and creamy in the center,
00:12
and with honey drizzled over the top and some toasted sesames,
00:16
it is one of my favorite party acts.
00:18
This recipe is super simple.
00:20
It uses just a couple of ingredients, one of which is the store-bought phyllo.
00:24
Before we can make our pockets, we need to make sure that we take
00:27
as much moisture out of the feta as possible.
00:30
Because if there's too much moisture inside the feta when we roll it up,
00:34
it might burst and explode all over the oven, and nobody wants that.
00:38
Not a cute look.
00:39
So, to do this, we are going to put the feta right in the center
00:44
of the roll of paper towels, and wrap it up,
00:49
put it on a clean sheet tray like this,
00:53
and put something heavy on top.
00:56
And you're going to leave that there for 30 to 60 minutes.
00:59
We're going to wrap our feta today in phyllo.
01:02
If you haven't cooked with phyllo before, you've definitely eaten it.
01:06
It's like that iconic flaky layered dough that features in baklava,
01:10
spanakopita, and a lot of other Greek and Turkish pastries.
01:14
This is one of those doughs that you definitely don't want to try to make from scratch.
01:18
The stuff that you buy at the store is made by machine.
01:21
It is super thin, and you'll just never get it that thin if you do it by hand.
01:25
We're going to lay two of these sheets of phyllo right on top of each other on our work surface,
01:30
and then we're going to sprinkle with thyme and lemon zest.
01:33
Then we're going to place the feta on one end of the phyllo,
01:37
and roll it up like a burrito.
01:39
Once you get to the end of the roll, you're going to brush a little olive oil on the edge to seal the pocket.
01:44
Before we put this pocket in the oven,
01:46
we're actually going to sear it first to get a really crispy golden brown color on it.
01:51
It's going to help with the browning and make it look that much more appetizing.
01:55
It's also going to add some great flavor.
01:57
So to the pan, we're going to go in with some olive oil,
02:03
and heat that over medium-high until it is super shimmery.
02:07
We're going to sear this on all sides until it's golden brown, about two to three minutes.
02:12
We're going to bake this at 350 for 10 minutes, just until it's soft and creamy in the middle.
02:17
Once it's baked, we're going to cut it into pieces, drizzle it with honey,
02:22
and top it with some toasted sesame seeds, some fresh thyme, and some crushed red pepper.
02:29
Doesn't this look gorgeous?
02:31
You've got that crispy phyllo, and that soft, creamy cheese in the middle,
02:36
and the honey and the sesame just amp up the flavor.
02:40
Oh, so excited to try.
02:45
You get that salty, creamy feta, and the sweetness of the honey,
02:49
and that rich nuttiness from the sesame seeds plays so nicely with the thyme and the red pepper flakes.
02:57
Honey and phyllo dough as a combo are a tried-and-true match.
03:02
That stickiness from the honey and the crispiness of the phyllo,
03:06
those two textures just play so well together.
03:09
It's a no-brainer.
03:10
Any place that you would serve baked brie, I would throw this in instead.
