Method

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Mash the feta with the egg, parsley, dill and pepper.

  2. 2

    Lay a filo sheet on the work top and cut it in half lengthways. Keep the rest covered with a damp tea towel.

  3. 3

    Put a thin line of filling along the short end. Fold in the sides and roll up tightly like a cigar. Seal the end with a dab of water.

  4. 4

    Place the rolls on a lined baking tray. Brush with the oil and sprinkle with nigella seeds.

  5. 5

    Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until deep golden and crisp. Cool for 5 minutes before serving.
