Description

These crispy, flaky phyllo pastry triangles filled with sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese, and herbs are a crowd-pleasing appetizer that requires only five minutes of active prep time.

Ingredients

Scale

1 package phyllo dough, thawed
1 cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil), chopped and drained
8 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1 teaspoon honey (optional)
1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and chopped (optional)
1 cup fresh spinach, squeezed dry (optional)
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine crumbled feta, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, minced garlic, chopped dill, black pepper, and honey. Mix well and set aside.
Unroll phyllo dough. Keep unused sheets covered with a damp towel to prevent drying.
Lay out one sheet of phyllo on a clean surface. Brush lightly with olive oil. Repeat with 3-5 more sheets, stacking and brushing each layer with oil.
Spread the feta and tomato mixture evenly over the layered phyllo, leaving a small border around the edges.
Starting from one long edge, tightly roll the phyllo into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.
Slice the log into 1-inch thick pieces using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
Place pieces cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet. Brush tops lightly with olive oil.
Bake for 15-18 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Let cool for 5 minutes before serving to allow them to crisp up further.

Notes

Keep phyllo dough covered with a damp towel while working to prevent cracking. Ensure sun-dried tomatoes are well-drained to avoid soggy palmiers. For best texture, serve warm or reheat in an air fryer/toaster oven; avoid microwaving.
