In our country this pastry is known appetizer cooked in almost every family. It is most particularly consumed at breakfasts. I have never seen anyone not liking it, and dont guess,i'll see.

Crispy flavour can tempt anybody eating it , ok i guess i talked so much. That is enough for me, just now recipe:

1 sheet phyylo(a special thin dough sold especially in Turkey, but i think you can find it in turkish shops, everyone here buy it from shops, nobody rolls out dough by reason of difficulty of rolling)

1 cup cheese(whatever you want, but it is impossible to cook it with melting types of cheese)

1/2 bunch of parsly

At first hand cut phyylos in half, cut in half of these pieces again, then cut from these halves three pieces as a triangle.
You will get small, long triangles. Then place cheese and parsley sliced on the long side of each triangle and roll up.
Roll all of pieces , but don't forget to soak narrow sides of triangles with water, thus you will have prevented to unroll phyylos being fried. It is really essential in the way of coming esthetic on the plate.

After rolling each pieces, we can fry them at medium heat until getting this colour in the picture

P.S: I suggest you to service this pastry with tea, i think you'll be fond of it very much.
Here we enjoy consuming this at breakfasts , but it can be presented as a side dish before main.
