💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Brush each filo sheet with melted butter at exactly 120-130°F because hotter butter will make the pastry soggy while cooler butter won't penetrate the delicate layers properly.technique120-130°F
- ✓Add nduja at the end of cooking lamb mince and cook for only 2-3 minutes because its high fat content (40-50%) will render out and make the filling greasy if overcooked.timing2-3 minutes
- ✓Crumble feta into 1/2-inch pieces rather than mixing it smooth because larger chunks create pockets of creamy saltiness that contrast with the spiced meat texture.technique1/2-inch pieces
- ✓Keep unused filo sheets under a damp towel because filo pastry loses moisture at 3-4 times the rate of regular pastry and becomes brittle and unusable within 10 minutes of air exposure.ingredient10 minutes
- ✓Bake at 375°F and rotate the pan halfway through because filo requires high heat to create steam between layers for flakiness, and rotation ensures even browning of the delicate top sheets.equipment375°F
