Ingredients

Your leftovers

1 package phyllo or filo dough

damp paper towel

butter flavored or olive oil cooking spray (not bakers spray with flour)

Directions

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.

Wow, thanks, my kids don't really like to eat leftovers and this way, it will be a brand new meal. Good post!

Thank you for a great idea. I've got some phyllo in the fridge, although I don't often have leftovers. I might tomorrow, I am making grilled pork tenderloins, imagine how that would be in some phyllo dough!

What a marvelous idea. Simply inspired. Thank you, because my family won't reheat and eat. Love this. Toodles, Notcho

Great idea! Since it seems that I'm not capable of cooking for anything less than a small army, we always have leftovers. While we don't mind the 'reheat and eat', this will be a nice variation. Thanks Bill!

I might be able to eat leftovers this way - leftovers are something that I do not look favorably upon...your method would disguise it perfectly and we would all feel like we were eating something entirely new (and I love phyllo) - I am going to have to have a go at this!
