Step 5: Continue Layering
Step 7: Add Veggies and Toppings
Now it's time to add your veggies! Evenly distribute the cherry tomatoes, chopped bell pepper, red onion, Kalamata olives, and shredded chicken (if using) over the cheese. Sprinkle over the fresh parsley and any additional seasonings, ensuring every bite has a burst of flavor.
Step 10: Serve and Enjoy!
- Work Quickly with Phyllo: Phyllo dough dries out quickly, so keep the unused sheets covered with a damp cloth.
- Make It Ahead: This dish can be prepped in advance. Just assemble the ingredients and bake when you need it.
- Experiment with Toppings: Feel free to mix in your favorite veggies or proteins. Spinach, artichokes, or assorted cheeses would work wonderfully too!
- Presentation Matters: Serve with a side of marinara sauce or a drizzle of balsamic glaze for an elegant touch.
- Cutting Technique: Use a sharp knife to cut through the layers cleanly without tearing the phyllo.
