Leftovers. Now what re-nuke?? Nah, meatloaf, roast beef, steak, chops, veggies, mashed potatoes hmmm. Phyllo aka filo dough is your friend and easy to use. Just handle it carefully and keep a damp paper towel over the unused dough so it doesn't dry out. Read more Read on. See less
Ingredients
- Your leftovers shopping list
- 1 package phyllo or filo dough shopping list
- damp paper towel shopping list
- butter flavored or olive oil cooking spray (not bakers spray with flour) shopping list
How to make it
- Take any COLD leftovers you have, perform surgery and cut into bit sized pieces.
- Add sauteed onions, garlic or anything else that pulls your pin in the mix if you want.
- Take 2 sheets of phyllo dough and lay them flat on top of each other on a sprayed cookie sheet spraying each phyllo sheet with cooking spray (this makes them crispy and puffy, if you want you can use melted butter here.
- spread a thin layer of the leftovers across the center 1/3 of the sheets don;t go to the edge
- fold all 4 edges toward the center into a pocket or spread in the center and crimp the top to make a pretty bag, twist and pinch to hold
- spray the outside with cooking spray
- Bake in a 375 degree F oven for 35 minutes or until the phyllo is golden brown.
- Add cheese (colby jack, goat cheese, mozzarella, bleu cheese, parmesan whatever matches the meal) on top (great time to experiment with tangy goat cheese)
- place under the broiler to just melt
- or ladle a thin line of brown or chicken or turkey gravy across the top and place under the broiler to heat the gravy.
- Nice for leftover chili, meatloaf, you name it. Experiment.
- There should be enough sheets to make 8 servings in the package. Found in your grocers freezer section.
