What matters
Do not use torn sheets as the sole outer layer. An intact layer holds the cheese better.

Why this recipe works
Thin pastry around a salty centre
Four small parcels make two snack portions. Filo is much thinner than puff pastry and dries quickly. Expose only the strips being used and keep the remaining pastry covered.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ about Air fryer feta filo parcels
No. Puff pastry is thicker and rises differently; folding and cooking time need adjustment.
Sugary honey darkens quickly in direct heat and can taste bitter.
Compact pieces are easier to wrap tightly. Crumbles can fall out at the sides while folding.
Cover with the packaging film. Do not soak with water or the thin layers will stick together.
