As a Swiss, I always find it heartbreaking watching these kind of videos knowing they’re using some tasteless, lame ass excuse of a dairy product they call cheese in that region of the world.
It ain't a cheese pie if the cheese doesn't ooze out and bake on its own so I can scrape it off the pan and eat it all myself before proudly serving the slightly cheesy pastry to others
This is a Greek recipe so can use Kasseri cheese, the cheese is way less "cheesy" than you would expect. More like a holumie, more texture than sharp cheese.
The word φύλλο is transcribed phonetically as "filo," but the transcription of the sounds is more typically phyllo. Ph/f correspond to φ, hence why we have Stephen and Steven both from Στέφανος ("wreath"; ironicall, the V spelling is based on the German pronunciation of the letter, /f/, which resulted in the combined spellings from French and German resp. to be both read as /'stiven/ over time. The double l mirrors the double lambda.
Well I'm south african who spends a lot of time in Greece. So my brain is trained to hear the soft ph sound. So maybe there is some F here, but the frozen brand I buy is ph
Yes, but... I could use a bit more in there. Some veggies, like a duxelle or grilled zucchini, or corn salsa. Break up the richness for my poor, lactose intolerant bowels.
Oh, they're getting cheese. We don't accept intolerance in my house.
Gotta be careful with how much water is in what you use. You will end up with soggy wet dough on the bottom if there is too much. Other then that their our know rools.

Almost anything not involving phylo spigot be resort

I'm gonna need some more cheese on every fold.

How you dough this?

It's much easier to cook with if you call it Filo.

Looks crispy and delish

How the hell did chef get that phyllo so soft? I'm guessing it's fresh made and not the stuff you buy ready-made.
RaspK
Most likely. If ready-made, you have to make sure it's neither too cold nor too dry.

Looks yummy. What's phyllo dough? Be nice with feta and spinach

Whom are you referring to? Greek cheeses are good. As are other Balkan cheeses, and Arabic cheeses as well.

I love cheese but honestly this would probably have been better without it.
RaspK
@Cayowin's suggestion is a good one: κασέρι melts into a creamy, almost saucy consistency. It's also very tasty.

Nobody who's ever worked with phyllo would ask "what could be easier?" on a video about working with phyllo.
Freddyuno
This. The making of the dough alone is enough to make me not want to try this.
RaspK
You can buy the stuff, if you want to. The homemade, traditional recipe is not as finicky as people think, it just takes some practice.

Phyllo? Is that a Filo typo? Or is filo really spelled like that in some places?
RaspK
The word φύλλο is transcribed phonetically as "filo," but the transcription of the sounds is more typically phyllo.

Phyllo means "leaf, sheet".
Sprocker
I've never seen it spelt that way either. Filo in the UK.
RaspK
See my response above.
Cayowin
I had never seen it spelled with an F before so had to check the wiki:
The name filo (phonetic) or phyllo (transliteration) comes from Greek φύλλο 'leaf'
RaspK
See my response above.
SirChadwellHeath
Filo in UK, which is odd compared with sulphur (UK) / sulfur (USA)
RaspK
That's a simplification. See my response above.

Crab meat for a new ragoon-type experience! (I have put cream cheese, onion, and crab meat in crescent roll dough. Yums!)
StevieTheAussie
Cheese and spinach usually go well together.
spiceass9000
Eh, id go with some kind of meat if anything, that or some fruit/jam
spiceass9000
Even just some honey.
RaspK
All of the above are traditional, although honey would usually be mixed in with something more solid, lest it run out of the pie.

- Take phyllo dough
- Put cheese and herbs on it
- Cook it in the oven until golden
- Draw the rest of the owl
vegivamp
Nope. There is something powdery and something at on the dough, and there's at least one thing in the cheese that isn't herbs.
Muffyns
The powder is most likely flour so it doesnt stick to the counter

Do the things the video shows. Then cook at some temperature for some period of time. Voila!
amybonjella
Everything gets cooked at 18 for 20 mins. Apparently every family has the "just stick it in a t X for Y minutes", and that's ours... (°c )
RaspK
180ºC is a good rule of thumb, yes. 200ºC is for things like bread, usually. 220ºC if needed for some types.
