Directions
Bourekakia Tiri – Cheese Rolls, Tasty roll-up with a savory Greek cheese filling from Greek With Gusto! it’s a bit of work but worth the effort Can be used as the main course though it’s a bit rich – our preference is to use as an appetizer The filling can be prepared 3 days in advance – refrigerate covered Allow phyllo to thaw in refrigerator for 24 hours before using , Wonderful! I scaled this down to 10 roll-ups and we all loved them I thought the addition of the pepper and green onion was inspired – it really does add a totally different dimension to the cheese filling I did not pierce my rolls – I never do Not a problem Thanks!, Tasty roll-up with a savory Greek cheese filling from Greek With Gusto! it’s a bit of work but worth the effort Can be used as the main course though it’s a bit rich – our preference is to use as an appetizer The filling can be prepared 3 days in advance – refrigerate covered Allow phyllo to thaw in refrigerator for 24 hours before using
