Crispy Red Fig & Feta Appetizers

• 1 jar of Anjou Red July Figs
• 5 sheets of phyllo dough
• 100g of high-quality feta cheese
• 50g melted butter
• Optional: a few sesame or nigella seeds for decoration.

 The editing

Carefully layer the 5 sheets of phyllo dough on top of each other.

This will give you that characteristic ultra-crispy flakiness.

The upholstery

Spread the red fig mixture generously over the entire length of the rectangle (approximately the first third of the sheet from the edge).

Arrange the pre-cut slices of feta cheese on top.

Shaping

Roll the mixture gently but firmly to form a long, tight roll.

Using a sharp knife, cut into even slices approximately 3 to 4 cm thick.

 Gilding

Arrange your bites upright on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Brush each piece with melted butter using a pastry brush to achieve a golden brown color.

Cooking

Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for 12 minutes.

Keep an eye on them: the bites should be golden brown and perfectly crispy. ? Tip from the artisan Enjoy these bites straight out of the oven, when the feta is still melted and the pastry is nice and crispy.

You can add a pinch of freshly ground pepper or fresh thyme to the jam before rolling it up for even more flavor!
