Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, chopped parsley, black pepper, and ground nutmeg. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
-
Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean work surface. Brush the entire sheet lightly with the beaten egg. Place another sheet of phyllo on top and repeat the process until you have a stack of three phyllo sheets, each brushed with egg.
-
Cut the stacked phyllo sheets lengthwise into three equal strips. Spoon a small amount of the cheese filling onto the bottom corner of each strip. Gently fold the corner over the filling to form a triangle, then continue folding the strip into a tight cigar shape. Secure the end by brushing it with more beaten egg.
-
In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Carefully place a few Sigara Boregi pastries in the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the pastries until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
-
Transfer the fried Sigara Boregi pastries to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Repeat the frying process with the remaining pastries until they are all cooked to perfection.
