- 300 g Halloumi cheese(crumbled)
- 0.5 cup Fresh mint(finely chopped)
- 0.5 cup Fresh parsley(finely chopped)
- 3 stalks Spring onions(thinly sliced (white and green parts))

👨🍳 Fremgangsmåte
- 1
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
- 2
In a medium bowl, combine the crumbled halloumi, chopped mint, chopped parsley, sliced spring onions, and black pepper. Mix gently to combine. If using, add the optional 2 tbsp olive oil.
- 3
Carefully unroll the phyllo dough. Keep the sheets covered with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out.
- 4
Take one sheet of phyllo dough and brush it lightly with melted butter (or a mix of butter and olive oil). Place another sheet on top and brush again. Repeat with a third sheet for a sturdier parcel.
- 5
Cut the layered phyllo sheets into squares, approximately 10x10 cm (4x4 inches).
- 6
Place about 1-2 tablespoons of the halloumi filling in the center of each phyllo square.
- 7
Gather the edges of the phyllo dough up around the filling to form a small parcel or pouch ('pouggia'). Pinch the top to seal.
- 8
Place the parcels seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- 9
Brush the tops of the parcels with the beaten egg wash for a golden finish.
- 10
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden brown and crispy.
- 11
Serve warm as an appetizer or snack.
