Crispy, golden phyllo wrapped around a creamy feta filling and finished with warm honey—these pockets are the perfect balance of salty and sweet. A classic Greek meze that’s simple, comforting, and always a crowd-pleaser.
Great phyllo bites start with great Greek ingredients — explore why Greek olive oil has such a loyal following to understand what you're brushing onto each layer. For more Greek appetizers, try spinach and feta triangles and round off the mezze spread with Greek semolina halva for dessert.

Make the Feta Filling
In a bowl, mix the crumbled feta with the egg, oregano, two tablespoons of white vinegar and black pepper until well combined.
Brush the Phyllo
Lay one sheet of phyllo on a clean work surface and brush lightly with extra virgin olive oil.
Spoon some of the feta filling onto one half of the phyllo. Fold the phyllo in half to cover the filling and brush the top lightly with olive oil.
Fold into Accordion Pockets
Fold the phyllo accordion-style (like a fisarmonika), then wrap it into a compact pocket.
Bake Until Golden
Place the pockets on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Brush the tops with more olive oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake at 180°C / 350°F for 50–60 minutes, until deeply golden and crisp.
Drizzle with Honey and Serve
While still warm, drizzle generously with Greek honey.
Serve warm as an appetizer or mezze, alongside olives and a chilled glass of Gratsi White. Simple, traditional, and full of Greek comfort.
