Spread a mushroom-onion filling or a spinach-cannellini bean combo on butter-brushed phyllo. |
Beneath a nest of angel hair phyllo shreds is a layer of bizarre, bland melted cheese in a pool of honey syrup. |
With no time to stuff and wrap the phyllo, I added a little more sour cream and a lot more cheese, spread the mixture in a pan and baked it. |
This was followed by bay scallops wrapped in phyllo with Camembert, which were fabulously rich, and presented on a small rectangular plate. |
Before food processors and dough machines, bakers in Mediterranean palaces would shape and stretch phyllo by hand. |
The most outlandish dessert was a mass of honeyed phyllo, piled like feathers over diced pears and a blob of melted Pecorino cheese. |
