Briouate au Fromage is a delightful Moroccan pastry filled with a rich cheese mixture, wrapped in delicate gluten-free dough, and fried to golden perfection. This dish offers a satisfying crunch and a creamy center, making it a perfect appetizer or main course.

Ingredients

• Gluten-free phyllo dough - 6 sheets
• Feta cheese - 100 grams, crumbled
• Ricotta cheese - 100 grams
• Fresh parsley - 30 grams, chopped
• Cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Egg - 1, beaten (for sealing)
• Olive oil - for frying

Steps

1. In a bowl, mix the crumbled feta, ricotta, chopped parsley, cumin, black pepper, and salt until well combined.
2. Lay out one sheet of gluten-free phyllo dough on a clean surface and brush lightly with olive oil. Repeat this process with a second sheet, stacking them.
3. Cut the stacked sheets into 3 equal strips.
4. Place a tablespoon of the cheese mixture at one end of each strip and fold the sides over the filling, then roll tightly to form a triangle shape. Seal the edges with beaten egg.
5. Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the briouates for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
6. Remove from the pan and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm.
