Total Time: 50 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• 7 ounces feta cheese
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 4 tablespoons mint (optional) or 4 tablespoons parsley (optional) or 4 tablespoons dill, finely chopped (optional)
• 4 sheets phyllo dough
• 4 tablespoons butter, melted

Recipe

• 1 for the filling, mash the feta with a fork and mix with the egg and herbs of choice.
• 2 take out the sheets of phyllo only when you're ready to use them as they dry out. cut the sheets into 4 rectangles each, about 12x4 inches and put them in a pile on top of each other.
• 3 brush the top strip with melted butter. take a heaping teaspoon of filling and place it at one of the 4" or shortest ends of the strip in a thin sausage shape along the edge, about 1" from it and 1" from side edges.
• 4 roll up the top sheet with the filling inside like a cigarette. turn the ends in when you've rolled it about a third of the way to trap the filling, then continue to roll.
• 5 repeat with the remaining phyllo sheets.
• 6 place the cigars close to each other on a greased baking sheet and brush the tops with melted butter.
• 7 bake at 350f for 30 minutes, or until crisp and golden.
• 8 serve hot.
