Processed cheese and sesame filo parcels

Processed cheese and sesame filo parcels go on the appetizer table, good hot or cold, with golden pastry sheets. In this savory pie, the cheese softens under the thin sheets, which brown at the edges, while the sesame turns golden in the oven. I eat them while the sheets still break with a crisp crunch. Prep: 20 minutes. Cook: 25 minutes. Total time: 45 minutes. Servings: 6. Approximately 470 kcal and 11 g protein per serving.
Ingredients
- 12 ready-made filo pastry sheets
- 12 processed cheese triangles
- 100 ml oil
- 1 egg
- 2 mini cartons (20 ml) coffee creamer
- 30 g sesame seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
Preparation
1. Heat the oven to 170°C and line a baking tray with parchment paper. 2. Brush each filo sheet with the 100 ml of oil. 3. Place a cheese triangle in one corner of each sheet, fold the sheet over it and put the parcels on the tray. 4. Beat the egg in a bowl with 20 ml of coffee creamer. 5. Brush the parcels with the beaten egg, then sprinkle 30 g of sesame seeds and 1/2 teaspoon of fine salt over them. Bake for 25 minutes, until golden. 6. Serve hot, or let them cool and eat them cold.
Notes
Keep the sheets covered with a clean kitchen towel while you work, because exposed edges dry out and can crack when folded. Choose processed cheese triangles that hold their shape when you take them out of the wrapper, not ones that are already very soft. If the cheese is salty, leave out the salt sprinkled on top. You can fold them a few hours ahead and keep them covered in the fridge, then brush them with egg just before baking. Leftover parcels keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. For a crust with less sesame, sprinkle on 15 g instead of all 30 g. They contain gluten, dairy, egg and sesame. Serve them alongside a tomato salad.
Frequently asked questions
What can I use instead of processed cheese triangles?
Use 180 g of processed cheese from a block, cut into 12 pieces. Choose a firm one so it doesn’t easily leak through the pastry.
Why do the parcels come apart in the oven?
Tuck the loose end under each parcel and leave about 2 cm between them on the tray.
Can I use puff pastry instead of filo sheets?
Yes. Cut it into 12 squares and bake at 200°C for 18-20 minutes, until puffed and golden.
