25. Peach and Berry Cream Puff Pastry Phyllo Dough Recipe

I love Summer! One of the things I love most is fresh fruit. My kids love peaches and we are always looking for new peach recipes. Peach Berry Cream Puff Pastry Phyllo Tart.

We also love puff pastry phyllo dough – it’s so puffy and delicious! So we thought it would be fun to combine the two things we love.

Peach and Berry Puff Pastry Phyllo Tart. This tart is so easy to make it is a beautiful addition to a summer dinner or potluck!

This crinkle cake is an absolute showstopper dessert, yet incredibly easy to make. Perfect for a brunch, luncheon, holidays, or anytime.

23. Curry Lime Chicken Phyllo Rolls

These Curry Lime Chicken Phyllo Rolls were adapted from Ina Garten’s Crab Strudel recipe, which is awesome. But I’m not an established TV personality who regularly throws around phrases like “good olive oil” and “lunch in East Hampton,” so lump crab meat isn’t something that I’m shelling out money for very often. That’s why I decided to make a version with chicken.

I also kind of shy away from calling this recipe a “strudel,” because whenever I think of strudel, I’m seeing cinnamon, apples, and powdered sugar. Maybe that makes me a close-minded, ornery traditionalist. But oh well.

You can make these as an awesome appetizer, or, you know…a nice light snack for one when you’re home alone. hehe…heh…..heh.

21. Phyllo Meat Pie (Egyptian Goulash)

Today’s recipe is straight from my mother’s kitchen: phyllo meat pie recipe (aka Egyptian goulash). Layers of flaky phyllo with a tantalizing meat mixture nestled in between. If you’ve been looking for things to make with phyllo dough, this easy recipe is a great one to try!

If you’ve had baklava, you’ve had phyllo! A popular ingredient in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cooking, phyllo is made of unleavened paper-thin pastry dough and is used in both sweet and savory recipes. You can find phyllo dough in most grocery stores in the freezer section near things like puff pastry and pie crust. I use phyllo to make all sorts of delicious dishes, like tarts and savory pies — and I’ve even used it as a crispy pizza crust!

It can be intimidating to work with phyllo, but it’s easier to use than most people think (I have some tips for you below).

One of my favorite phyllo recipes is my mother’s Egyptian goulash. This is not the goulash you may know as macaroni noodles with a beef sauce; Egyptian goulash is something entirely different and so worth a try!
