Tips for working with Phyllo Dough:

  • Thaw out completely prior to using.
  • Lay a damp towel over the dough so it doesn’t get dry when you are working with it.
  • Don’t worry if the dough separates a little. Just keep going and that section will get covered up.

This flaky, honey-kissed feta pairs beautifully with a rich red — try it alongside our Braised Osso Buco for a full Italian feast, or get inspired by Braised Rabbit with Wild Mushrooms for your next dinner party. For something to sip, discover how to Bring the Holidays to Your Glass — or grab a box of Gratsi Boxed Wine to keep on hand for any occasion.

Nearby are a bunch of thyme, a jar of honey, a glass with a light drink, and cookbooks in the background on a marble countertop.

STEP 5: Wrap the Feta

Place two pieces of feta towards to end of the phyllo dough. Fold end up to cover the dough. Brush with oil. Fold sides inward, brush will oil.

STEP 6: Roll and Shape the Parcels

Roll the feta wrapped in dough forward, until you have made a rectangle. (Repeat the process for the other two pieces of cheese.)
