Warm Goat Cheese in Phyllo


From Barefoot Contessa
Serves 2

*4 sheets phyllo dough, defrosted
*2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
*1 tbsp plain dry bread crumbs
*4 oz. fresh goat cheese

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Unroll the phyllo dough on a flat surface and cover with a slightly damp towel. Working quickly so the dough doesn't dry out, place one sheet of phyllo dough on a board, brush lightly with melted butter and sprinkle lightly with bread crumbs. Place a second sheet of phyllo on top, brush with melted butter and sprinkle with bread crumbs. Continue until you have 4 sheets stacked up. Cut the sheets in half crosswise to make 2 almost-squares.

Cut the goat cheese in half and put one half in each of the phyllo squares. Bring the corners of the phyllo together around the goat cheese and gently twist, making a little round package. Brush the packages with melted butter and place on a sheet pan with a Silpat. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until the phyllo is lightly browned. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
