Fried Feta and Egg Turnovers

10/09/2016
Ingredients

For dough

  • 90 g olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons vinegar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • 225-250 g water
  • 500 g all-purpose flour

For filling

  • 400 g hard feta cheese, cut in to pieces
  • 3 tablespoons Greek strained yogurt
  • 1 egg for the filling + 8 egg yolks
  • pepper
Method
  • To prepare the dough, beat the ingredients for the dough in a mixer with the hook attachment, until it comes together like a ball, completely pulling back from the sides of the bowl.
  • Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for ½ so it can rest.
  • When ready, divide the dough in to 8 pieces and roll out each one in to a thin sheet.
  • To make the filling, combine the cheese, yogurt, egg and some pepper in a bowl.
  • Add a heaping tablespoon of the filling to each sheet of dough. Spread it over the dough, leaving an empty space in the middle of each sheet.
  • Add an egg yolk in that empty space on each sheet of phyllo.
  • Brush the edges of the phyllo with some water.
  • Imagine each sheet of phyllo divided in to 3 pieces.
  • Fold the left third over the middle one and the right third over both.
  • Fold the top and bottom of the phyllo inwards 2 cm, to complete the turnover.
  • Fill a pan with olive oil, 0.5 cm high and heat.
  • Add the turnovers to the pan and fry until golden and crunchy.
  • You don’t want the egg yolks to harden. You want them to be “sunny side up” so that the yolk breaks open when cutting and serving.
