Instructions
Creating Filo Rolls with Bell Peppers & Feta Cheese can be easy if you follow these structured steps:
1. Prepare the Filling: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until softened, about 3 minutes.
2. Add Bell Peppers: Stir in the diced bell peppers and cook for another 5-7 minutes until they are softened. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Mix Cheese: In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables with crumbled feta cheese. If desired, add chopped parsley or dill for an extra flavor boost.
4. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) for preheating.
5. Assemble Filo Sheets: Lay one sheet of filo pastry on a clean surface. Brush lightly with olive oil. Place another sheet on top and brush again.
6. Add Filling: Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the filling along one edge of the pastry, forming a line.
7. Roll the Filo: Roll the pastry tightly to form a cylinder, folding in the sides as you reach the edges.
8. Place on Baking Sheet: Transfer the rolled pastry to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
9. Brush with Egg Wash: Repeat the process with the remaining filo sheets and filling. Brush the tops of the rolls with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
10. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
11. Cool and Serve: Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. They’re fantastic warm!
