Directions

For the dough, we mix all the ingredients together, we cover it and we let it rest for about an hour. For the filling, we wash the mint, we let it drain and we chop it. We grate the cheese and we let it drain like the mizithra cheese. We mix the cheeses with the eggs, the salt and the mint. We roll out the dough in a medium size phyllo and we cut it into round pieces. We take the filling with a wet teaspoon and we put it in the middle of the dough. We close the 4 edges inward like a folder, so that the filling in the middle is a little bit visible. We spread the kaltsounia with the eggs and we sprinkle with the sesame seeds. We place the kaltsounia on a large oiled baking dish and we bake them in a preheated oven at 200 ° C for 20 minutes
until they get a golden brown color.
