Last sunday I was craving for a little something to snack on. Preferably not too healthy, and easy to make. Oh, and something that didn't require a trip to the supermarket. As a cheese aficionado, I always have cheese in the fridge. I had some filo dough as well and thought these two might be a match made in heaven.
What you'll need:
- 5 sheets of filo pastry
- 10 chunks of cheese
- 50 grams of butter
- ketchup, or something else for dipping purposes
Preheat your oven to 180°C / 350°F. Cut the dough in half, and melt the butter slowly in a small pan. Remove the pan from the heat and brush the sheet of dough on both sides with the melted butter. Place a big chunk of cheese on top, and wrap it like it's a present.
Place them on a sheet of baking paper, and bake them on the middle shelf of the oven for about 15 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy.
I served them with ketchup, but I can imagine they might taste good with a mixture of crème fraîche, chopped up garlic and fresh chives.
Looks pretty easy to make! I would fill it with somethings else, but i will give it a try.
ReplyDeleteLet me know if you experiment with it! I always love recipes :-)
DeleteOoooh, these sound kind of like mozzarella sticks, but more sophisticated. Tasty!

DeleteWhoa! Look at that cheesy goodness, and easy to make too:) Thanks for sharing, Marieken. Who cares if it's not the healthiest? hehe
ReplyDeleteNot me! ;-)
DeleteSinful...I love it! Great snack...going to check out the other party snacks!
ReplyDeleteSinful can be so good!
DeleteThis is pretty ingenious! And, really, melted cheese fulfills several of my fantasies!
ReplyDeleteMine too! I like cheese on everything, I really don't care what's underneath!
DeleteMmmm Yummmmy!! So easy and unhealthy!! ;-o)
ReplyDeleteAren't those the best?
DeleteThese look amazing!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness, this looks just amazing. My mouth is literally watering looking at those photos!
ReplyDeletelooks yum:) ...pinning to try later!
ReplyDeleteLet me know if you tried them, love to hear if you like them!
DeleteThis was my second time with the filo, I will be making more with it!
ReplyDeleteThis is very yummy! I like the crispy outside and soft inside :)
ReplyDeleteWhich cheese did you use?
Just plain cheese from the supermarket, not too old, not too young. Over here it's named 'belegen'. After some google searching, I think the English word used for it, is mature. But Paige said something about mozzarella, now I think I need to try that too!
DeleteYUM...what a tasty snack! And I love that it uses items most of us have on hand!
ReplyDeleteI like those too! Recipes with lots of ingredients always scare me!
Deletethis looks really simple & yummy, might give it a try! it's funny how creative we get when we're hungry.
ReplyDeleteYes it is!
DeleteThese look awesome! I love that they're baked, not fried, and that I have all the ingredients on hand. Super cool!
ReplyDeleteI love baking things, I've never fried anything!
DeleteThese look delicious! Definitely not one for the diet but I bet they're so satisfying. I would definitley dip these in some sweet chilli sauce! xx
ReplyDeleteChili sauce sounds good, I need to remember that next time I go to the supermarket.
DeleteOh yum, this looks absolutely scrumptious!!

So simple and delicious! I love this kind of recipe. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, I love thinking up easy recipes.
DeleteMarieken! I just ate almost the same dish this afternoon. Mine is however called cheese sticks. We use "lumpia wrapper" or egg wrappers to enclose the slices of cheese. After which, we deep fry the mini sticks. Your recipe is healthier because it was baked!
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of cheese was used for the cheesesticks?
DeleteWe use the typical cheddar cheese :)
Deleteswooning.what an awesome idea. oh my oh my, i must give this a try!
ReplyDeleteI think you would like it :-) And it so easy to make, not unimportant.
