1 pkt filo pastry
250 grams feta cheese
1 egg
1/2 bunch chopped parsley

    1- Break up cheese with a fork. Add egg and chopped parsley and mix well.

    2- Lay out sheets of pastry on a flat surface. Cover with a moistened tea towel.

    3- Cut filo pastry into 3 equal pieces, lengthwise.

    4- Take two layers of pastry and place a teaspoon of the cheese mixture at bottom of pastry. Fold sides and roll  pastry into a cigar shape. Lightly wet edges with fingertip to seal any open edges.
