Experience the taste of a 10-minute Greek-style feta cheese-wrapped pastry and enjoy the perfect balance of feta cheese, honey, and thyme in a flaky puff pastry shell.
The classic recipe requires filo or phyllo sheets, but I replaced and obtained a delicious piece of feta with flavors because I had just puff pastry. Once again, I convince myself that nothing is impossible in a woman’s kitchen, as you can play with ingredients and obtain something magical and tasty.
