Brown Butter Filo Parcels

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

   Tip: For easy cleanup.

2. 2

   In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the butter turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma.

   Tip: Be careful not to burn the butter.

3. 3

   Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the chopped parsley, dill, garlic, salt, and pepper.

   Tip: Let the mixture cool slightly.

4. 4

   In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and egg until smooth. Add the water and whisk until the mixture is well combined.

   Tip: If the mixture is too thick, add a little more water.

5. 5

   Roll out the filo pastry sheets and cut them into 6 equal pieces. Place a piece of parchment paper on each filo piece.

   Tip: This will prevent the filo from sticking to the baking sheet.

6. 6

   Place a tablespoon of the cooled brown butter mixture in the center of each filo piece. Brush the edges of the filo with the olive oil.

   Tip: This will help the filo stick together when baked.

7. 7

   Fold the bottom half of the filo up over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll the filo into a tight cylinder.

   Tip: Make sure the edges are sealed tightly.

8. 8

   Place the filo parcels on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with a little olive oil.

   Tip: This will give the filo a nice golden brown color.

9. 9

   Bake the filo parcels for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

   Tip: Serve warm, dust with a little flour if desired.

10. 10

    Serve the brown butter filo parcels warm, garnished with additional parsley and dill if desired.

    Tip: Perfect for a special occasion or dinner party.
