Ingredients

Cooking oil spray
1 pound ground beef
1/4 cup onion, chopped
1/4 cup relish
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1/4 cup mayonnaise
Salt and pepper to taste
20 sheets Athens Fillo Dough (9”x14”), thawed
1/2 cup butter, melted

In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes, breaking up the beef into crumbles as it cooks.

Drain the meat and transfer to a bowl. In a medium bowl, combine the beef, onions, relish, cheese, mustard and mayonnaise, mixing well. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Prepare four fillo rolls according to directions for Rolls or Strudels. Brush each roll with butter and place seam side down on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in preheated 375ºF oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven to wire rack to cool slightly before serving.



Yield: 4 servings


GENERAL FILLO DOUGH HANDLING DIRECTIONS
1. Allow fillo dough to thaw in refrigerator overnight. Bring to room temperature before using.
2. Carefully unroll fillo sheets onto a smooth, dry surface.
3. Cover fillo completely with plastic wrap, then a damp towel.
4. Keep fillo covered until needed. Do not leave uncovered for more than one minute to avoid drying out.
5. Microwave butter until melted. This will give you a lighter and flakier pastry.
6. Brush each layer of fillo with melted butter, margarine or oil.
7. To prevent edges from cracking, brush edges first and then work into center.
8. Be sure to brush the last layer of fillo with melted butter.
9. Fillings should be chilled and not excessively moist.
10. Fillo may be rolled and refrozen to store when not in use.
