Storage
The cheese phyllo squares are best consumed immediately, when they are still hot and crispy.
If you want to prepare them in advance, you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 day, covering them with kitchen paper to maintain crispiness.
Alternatively, you can freeze them raw: just wrap them individually in plastic wrap and bake them directly from the freezer in a hot oven until golden.
