Phyllo Triangles Stuffed with Fresh Cheese (briouats bil jben)

These cheese briouats, known traditionally as briouats bil jben, are a delightful Moroccan vegetarian snack that balances savoury and sweet flavours perfectly. The crisp, golden layers of filo pastry provide a satisfying crunch that gives way to a creamy, herb-flecked centre. Using fresh ricotta or a soft farmer's cheese ensures the filling remains light, while the fragrant coriander adds a subtle brightness to every bite.

Traditionally served as a sophisticated appetiser or part of a celebratory spread, these versatile triangles are just as wonderful when enjoyed as a light lunch. The final flourish of warm honey and toasted sesame seeds transforms the dish, offering an authentic taste of North African hospitality. Serve them piping hot from the frying pan for the best texture and a truly comforting homemade treat.

Ingredients for Phyllo Triangles Stuffed with Fresh Cheese (briouats bil jben)

  • 230g /225 g ricotta, fresh semisoft farmer's cheese, or Mexican queso fresco

  • 1 stort ägg

  • Heaped 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh coriander

  • 4 sheets phyllo dough or warqa, plus more in case of breakage

  • Olive oil for brushing

  • 1 egg yolk, whisked

  • Honey

  • Light olive oil or vegetable oil for frying

  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

In a medium mixing bowl, blend the cheese, egg, and coriander with a fork.

On a clean, flat work surface, unroll the phyllo sheets. Cut into strips about 3 in/7.5 cm wide and at least 9 in/23 cm long. Arrange a couple of the strips facing away from you; cover the remaining strips with plastic wrap to keep them from drying out. Lightly brush the strips with olive oil.

Place 1 tablespoon of the cheese filling on the end of each strip closest to you. Fold over to form a triangle, then fold again to form another triangle, and so on to the end. Brush the end of the triangle with egg yolk and fold the loose end over the brushed yolk. Place the triangles on a plate without letting them touch. Repeat with the remaining phyllo strips and cheese filling.

Have ready 6 dessert plates. Place a generous dollop of honey in the middle of each.

In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat at least 1/2 in/1.25 cm of oil until the surface shimmers. Reduce the heat to medium. Working in small batches, gently place the phyllo triangles in the oil and fry, turning once, until firm and golden brown, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.

Place 2 or 3 rolls on each plate, drizzle with honey, and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve hot.
