Method
- 1
Heat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Mash the feta and ricotta together in a bowl. Stir in the egg, mint, parsley, pepper and nigella seeds. Do not add salt as the feta is salty enough.
- 2
Lay out the filo and keep it covered with a damp tea towel so it does not dry out. Take one sheet and cut it into 4 strips lengthways, each about 7 cm wide. Brush a strip with butter.
- 3
Put a heaped teaspoon of filling at one end of the strip. Fold the corner over the filling to make a triangle, then keep folding down the strip, like a flag, to the end. Tuck the end under. Repeat with the rest.
- 4
Place the triangles on lined baking trays and brush the tops with butter. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- 5
Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until deep golden and crisp. Cool for 5 minutes, as the filling is hot. Best eaten warm on the day.
