DIRECTIONS:

Gently lay out the sheets of phyllo dough and place the chunk of Gruyere cheese in the center. Fold the phyllo dough over cheese enveloping both sides with a balanced amount of dough. Heat the oil in a frying pan on medium-high.

Using the two forks, poke holes in the cheese through the phyllo dough, then place the package into the hot grease, holes downward. Fork new holes in the new side. Let it cook for 1-2 minutes. Turn the package over and poke holes in this side. Keep rotating the package poking holes every time you turn it over to a new side.

When the phyllo dough is golden brown on both sides, remove from grease to paper towel. Move the phyllo cheese package to a plate and drizzle it with the honey and sesame seeds. Cut it with a sharp knife and enjoy while still warm and gooey.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 70gr chunk of Gruyere cheese
