Did you know you could do so much with phyllo? Don't be terrified any longer of this paper-thin, frozen pastry. You'll prepare an assortment of appetizers, main dishes and desserts all made with this amazing pastry dough. Begin by preparing phyllo kisses, a fast, 5-minute appetizer. Then hot, puffy, feta cheese triangles create a party atmosphere. And they can be made in advance, then frozen to be baked as guests arrive! Main dishes can use chicken and vegetable highlight, such as fresh broccoli with a cheese sauce, rolled in this golden, crisp pastry. Of course, no class on phyllo would be complete without Baklava, loaded with nuts and saturated with a honey syrup! After this evening, you'll have conquered your fear plus you will receive an easy tip sheet to create perfect results every time for other phyllo recipes too. $13 supply fee payable to instructor at class.
