Prep Time: Cook Time: Total Time:
1 lb Muenster cheese, grated
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tbsp chopped parsley
1 lb frozen phyllo dough
1 cup butter, melted
In a bowl, add cheese, eggs and parsley. Blend well. Remove dough from the freezer and gently unroll. With a sharp knife, slice dough into thirds, lengthwise so each is approximately 4 inch x 12 inch.
Rewrap 2/3rds of the dough in plastic and return to the freezer. Tear a large piece of wax paper and place on counter.
Working quickly, take one sheet of dough and brush liberally with butter. Top with two more sheets of phyllo, brushing each with butter. Place approximately 1 tbsp of cheese mixture at one end of the buttered sheets, 1 inch from the edge.
With you fingers, roll the dough over the cheese mixture twice. Fold in the edges of the dough and continue rolling tightly until the end. Be careful not to tear the dough or roll too loosely, otherwise the cheese will spill out when baking.
Place seam side down on a cookie sheet and brush tops with butter. Repeat with remaining phyllo sheets. Bake at 400 for approximately 15 minutes or until golden and crispy.
