Wrap the Feta and Chill: Place the feta rectangles in a straight ling on the edge of the phyllo dough. Wrap the dough around the feta very tightly. Cover well in plastic wrap and let rest in the fridge for 30-45 minutes.
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425℉.
Slice and Arrange: Keep the plastic on your phyllo feta log and sllice into 12 even rounds. Divide ½ melted butter on the bottom of each muffin tin well, add the phyllo rounds and spoon remaining butter evenly on top.
tbsp unsalted butter
Bake: Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden.
Finish and serve: Before serving, drizzle a bit more honey and a sprinkle of sesame seeds on top. Enjoy!
