Ingredients

  • pound croissant dough (about half from croissant dough recipe)
  • 2 cups feta cheese crumbled or shredded
  • 2 tablespoon dill fresh, chopped
  • 1 egg for egg wash

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 F degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Make the cheese mixture by mixing feta cheese and the dill together with a fork. Set aside.
  • Cut the dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll out each piece into a long piece that's about 2 inches in width and about 15 inches in length. Add a few tablespoons of the cheese mixture down the middle of each rope. Bring up the sides of the dough and seal it but pinching the sides together. If you want to make sure it sticks well you might brush some egg wash along the sides before pinching it together. I didn't though.
  • Once you form your logs, start coiling each each log onto a baking sheet that's lined with parchment paper.
  • Brush the pie with egg wash.
  • Bake for 12 minutes or until golden.
