Ingredients
- 6 organic phyllo dough sheets, thawed
- 6 ounces smoked mozzarella cheese, at room temperature, cut into 6 sticks of equal size
- extra-virgin olive oil
- 8 ounces dried figs, stemmed and quartered
- 3/4 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon flaxseeds
- 1/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
Method
- Unfold the phyllo sheets and place on a dry work surface with a slightly damp towel on top to keep them from drying out. Take out 1 sheet of phyllo and place it verically on a work surface, with a short edge toward you. Place 1 piece of mozzarella near the bottom of the sheet. Fold the end up loosely over the cheese, then fold the in the sides. Keep folding until you have a tidy package about 3 1/2 by 4 inches. Make 5 more packets with the remaining cheese and phyllo.
- In a large skillet, heat extra-virgin olive oil over medium heat. Saute 3 phyllo-wrapped mozzarella pastries at a time, until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
- While pastries saute, combine figs and honey in a small saucepan. Cook on low heat until the honey is warm.
- Place 1 mozzarella pastry on each plate. Spoon softened figs onto each pastry and drizzle warm honey over each serving. Sprinkle with flaxseeds and walnuts and serve immediately.
