How to Make Cheese Briouates:

  1. Prepare the filling:
    In a medium bowl, combine the goat cheese, egg, parsley, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and fully blended.
  2. Cut the dough:
    Take the phyllo dough sheets and slice them into strips about 5 to 6 cm wide.
  3. Add the filling:
    Place a spoonful of the cheese mixture at one end of each strip of dough.
  4. Fold into triangles:
    Fold the dough over the filling, shaping it into a small triangle. Continue folding in a triangular pattern until you’ve reached the end of the strip.
  5. Fry the briouates:
    Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully fry the briouates, turning occasionally until golden brown and crispy.
