Steps
The savory phyllo pastries are very simple and quick to prepare. First, take a sheet of phyllo dough, spray (or brush) it with some extra virgin olive oil and fold the longer edges towards the center first, then the shorter ones, creating a sort of “bow.”
Fill the center with salami and cheese and close the pastry, folding the phyllo dough over the filling.
Place the savory phyllo pastries on a baking tray, spray them with some extra virgin olive oil, and bake them in a preheated oven at 392°F for about 15 minutes, until golden brown.
Tips:
The savory phyllo pastries can be stored at room temperature for a few hours or in the fridge for 2/3 days. You can personalize the filling with the ingredients you prefer. They can also be cooked in an air fryer at 338°F for about 12 minutes.
