Cheese Flutes/Sticks

Written by Published on Updated on November 3, 2022 in Uncategorized

Hello there,  I hope things are good with everyone.  Ok, well I have been busy painting the house, and I have to admit I am doing a pretty good job.  Since, everything, well mostly everything here in Holland are written in Dutch, (I am taking Dutch lessons) I was not sure if the paints I bought were the right ones if you know what I mean.  Living in a another country with a completely different language is challenging enough, let alone buying paints, brushes, etc.  I had to use google translate, just to be sure.  I don’t know if anyone else uses google translate, but sometimes  the translation from Dutch to English or Greek for that matter has me on the floor laughing.  

Your probably wondering were there no sales people at the stores? there were, some do speak and understand English and others don’t, and of course I would find the sales person who’s English was ahhhh so and so.  The Sales person was helpful in her own way, I can’t complain…we were basically pointing at the paints, walls, and brushes, she was shaking her head letting me know that what I was pointing at is correct, so it worked out well.  

Since, we are having a bit of heatwave here this week, I decided to make these 2 cheese flutes, because they bake quickly and not too much work involved, I can’t have the oven working too long. No air conditioning, just a fan which just blows back hot air uhhhhh.  🙂

I hope you enjoy this recipe…..:)

CHEESE FLUTES/STICKS

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 500 grams Feta Cheese
  • 12 Phyllo Dough Sheets
  • 250 grams Parmasan Cheese
  • 3 Eggs
  • 3 tablespoons Milk
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 1/2 cup Dill Chopped
  • Sesame Seeds

Instructions
 

  • Mix together in a large bowl all the ingredients. (except for the Phyllo Sheets)
  • In a baking pan add in one phyllo sheet at a time and brush with Olive Oil. Add the mixture into the sheets and spread from one side to the other. Unfortunately, my kitchen counter is quite small, as is my kitchen, and I am not able to open my own dough. This is the reason why I use store bought phyllo. I basically have to roll anything I do in the baking pan.
  • Fold, roll and tuck in the edges while working upwards till the end of the Phyllo Sheet. Brush Olive Oil and sprinkle with Sesame Seeds.
  • Bake at 180 degrees for 1/2 hours, until golden brown.

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie

    I lived in Mexico for a few months when I was younger and would go bananas when I needed to discuss specific topics. Where is the bathroom… Donde esta el bano… Good morning… Buenos dias… I think I have strep throat… ????…. Can I borrow a hammer and screwdriver… ????????…. I can’t even imagine how you are doing it with Dutch! You are a rock star. Also if you ever make it to Texas, you must visit because those cheese flutes look INCREDIBLE!!!!! 🙂

      ahhh your very kind. I have a really good friend who is Mexican and she moved back home from the states. 🙂 Starting something new is always difficult, but sometimes life just throws you some curves, that unfortunately just can’t be bypassed. Most Dutch do speak English, but sometimes you will find someone who does not speak English. What I found surprising is that if you ask a teenager a question in English they refuse to speak to you because they are embarrassed, but if you ask an older person, there English is fantastic!!!. I have been living here for about 5 years now with my husband and have been doing Dutch lessons, so I do understand what they are saying but speaking the language is wholeeee differentttttt worldddd. Especially when trying to pronounce the letter G. 🙂 Your very kind I truly thank you for your kind words. Truly appreciated….if I do get to Texas, I will absolutely drop by.

        Yes I imagine that the complexity of Dutch is over the top! I find your comment about speaking with the different ages very interesting. I would try to find young children to talk to because I never worried about their judgement or thinking that I sounded goofy. I adore that you are embracing the life there. Just wonderful!
