Romanian Cheese Pie Rolls

There are many pie recipes on my site, but these pie rolls are a serious competition to many of them. First of all, because they are made easily and only from 5 basic ingredients.

This pie is very similar in taste to Cheese Pies from my Mother-in-law, except that there you'll have a little more work with rolling out the dough. It's worth it too, but, if you want to simplify, this is the best option. My husband didn't notice the difference, he actually said that the pie looked gorgeous, so it really does work.

Ingredients
Egg
4 pieces
Sour cream
500 g
Butter
300 g
Phylo dough sheets
1 piece
a set of sheets in a bag - there are 10-12 sheets in it
Feta Cheese
500 g
it will be tastier if you use matured, old cheese
Step by step
Step 1

First, thaw the pie sheets unless they are fresh - an hour at room temperature should be enough.

Meanwhile, we prepare the rest of the ingredients:

- shred the telemea cheese (Romanian cheese) on the larger grater;

And tighten up the roll like a harmonica going from the edges to the middle.

Step 10

Repeat the procedure for the rest of the pie sheets - there were 12 sheets in the package, so I got 6 pie rolls.

I placed them in an oven tray greased with a little oil or butter.

There should be some melted butter left, use it to brush the rolls on top.

Let cool for a bit before serving. I know, you won't be able to wait for too long ... not with this smell all over the kitchen :))

And a relevant section, I'd say - puffed, soft, fluffy and tender, too bad you cannot smell it!
