Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Place walnuts, ¾ cup honey, cinnamon and salt in small sauce pan. Heat on medium just until honey thins–stir constantly to combine all ingredients. When cool add feta and set aside.
  • Stack 3 phyllo sheets with layer of egg wash between each sheet to ensure the filo sticks together—start by laying a single sheet of phyllo on a flat, non-stick surface with short side nearest you, and use a basting brush to apply the egg wash and remaining honey drizzle across the surface. Repeat 2 times, layering the phyllo one on top of the other.
  • Cut the sheets parallel to the long side first down the middle, then cut each half down the middle. You will end up with 4 strips of dough running away from you. Place 1 Tbsp honey-walnut mixture near the end of each strip near you. Bring the bottom left corner over the filling to the right edge creating a triangle. Then pretend you are folding the flag and keep folding the dough around the filling all the way to the end of the strip. You will now have a small triangle. Brush the dough with egg wash to seal the seam, place on baking sheet and brush top with egg wash. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
  • Put triangles on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and bake 10 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Serve with a drizzle of honey and a sprinkle of feta cheese. Yum!

Notes

If you're hosting a breakfast or brunch, these would be a great alternative to danishes!
