Baked feta in filo pastry - cooked in the air fryer

Recipe for feta baked in filo pastry, cooked in the air fryer.

This quantity gives one filo parcel each, with 1/2 block of feta inside. Serve with a crisp salad for a light lunch or starter. For a main course, I would recommend 2 filo parcels per person.

Ingredients

2 blocks of feta, 175-200 g each
4 sheets fresh filo pastry *or frozen – see the note in the method
Freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil

To serve

4-8 handfuls mixed salad leaves
4-6 large tomatoes, sliced
8 tbsp pesto
1 handful pine nuts, toasted in a dry frying pan
Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Halve the blocks of feta and set them aside on a chopping board.
Drizzle a little oil over a sheet of filo and spread it out with your hands. Fold it in half lengthways, – so you have a narrower, elongated strip.
The oiled sides should be folded against each other so they stick together.
*If you are using frozen filo in small square sheets, I recommend layering 3-4 sheets on top of each other, brushed with a little oil between each layer. Wrap the feta in this and place it seam-side down on a baking tray lined with baking paper. The 3-4 layers are important so the pastry doesn't split as it bakes.
Drizzle a little oil over the folded strip as well and spread it out with your hands.
Place a piece of feta at one end and season with a little freshly ground pepper.
Fold the pastry over to cover the cheese, then fold the sides in over it, and continue rolling the filo around the rest of the feta.
Continue until all 4 pieces are wrapped.
*See the video above the recipe, – there I show how to fold them using fresh filo pastry.
Brush the outside of the filo parcels with oil and place them in your air fryer.
Set the air fryer to 180°C and cook the filo parcels for about 15-18 minutes.
Let them cool for a moment before serving with a couple of handfuls of salad leaves, tomatoes, pesto and pine nuts.
