EVERYTHING-SPICE PHYLLO CRACKERS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Place a piece of parchment paper the size of your baking sheet on a work surface.
• Place a sheet of phyllo on the parchment paper and brush the pastry lightly with butter. Top with another sheet of phyllo, and lightly press down to eliminate any air bubbles trapped between the two sheets. Repeat with the next 2 layers of phyllo, then brush the top with the remaining butter. Trim the edges of phyllo, if necessary, to leave a 1/2-inch parchment border, and slide the parchment and pastry onto the baking sheet.
• In a small bowl, combine the everything-bagel seasoning, pepper and flaky salt. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the phyllo, and press gently to adhere. Using your sharpest knife, cut the phyllo into 1 1/2-inch squares (or feel free to cut them into strips or triangles of varying sizes).
• Bake until golden at the edges, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet and serve at room temperature.

• Take one sheet of phyllo at a time and cut into 15x30 cm strips.
• Brush with butter.
• Place a spoonful of the filling at one end and fold in the sides, so the pastry measures 13cm across.
• Brush edges with the melted butter and roll up.
• Pinch the 'frill' tightly at either end of the cracker.
• Brush once again with the butter.
• Place crackers on a baking tray.
• Cover and chill for 10 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 190°C.
• Brush each cracker with melted butter.
• Bake for 30 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
• Let them cool slightly on the tray and then transfer to wire rack to allow to cool completely.
• To make lemon sauce, put all the ingredients in a small saucepan and heat gently until dissolved, stirring occasionally.
• Pour warm sauce into a sauce boat and serve with the crackers.
• Dust crackers with icing sugar and tie foil ribbon around ends.

HERB PHYLLO CRISP

Steps:

• For ratatouille: Saute each vegetable in olive oil separately until tender. Return the vegetables to a large saucepan, adding garlic, tomatoes, tomato juice and remaining olive oil. Reduce by two thirds or until liquid is like a paste. Season with salt and pepper and add a handful of chopped herbs. Allow to cool completely. Herb phyllo crisp: Working with phyllo can be tricky for a first time user, but if you'll remember a few simple steps you will always have success.
• a. Never buy just one box, since some sheets are torn or matted together.
• b. Make sure the box is completely thawed out before attempting any dish.
• c. Always cover sheets not being used with a damp cloth towel; phyllo will dry out and turn to cracker mill right before your eyes.
• Unfold phyllo sheets out of the box and cover with a wet cloth. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place chopped herbs in a workable container, pour melted butter into a workable container, have your paint brush ready, then clean your work space. The idea is to layer melted butter and chopped herbs in between layers of phyllo, brush with melted butter, sprinkle with chopped herbs and repeat for 3 layers. With a sharp knife, cut 6 even strips going vertically and then cut 4 even strips horizontally, making 24 even squares.
• Carefully mold each square into each space of the muffin pan until all are completed. Place in the middle rack and bake for 2 to 3 1/2 minutes. They cook very quickly. Remove from pan. Repeat this step until you have enough phyllo crisps for your party.
• Fill herb phyllo crisps with room temperature ratatouille, a small spoon of goat cheese, and you are ready to serve.

• Meanwhile, in a large bowl combine egg, 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic, feta cheese and melted butter. Stir in salt, pepper, dill and onion powder. Fold steamed vegetables into egg mixture.
• Lay 4 sheets phyllo dough in the prepared dish and brush with olive oil. Lay 4 more sheets of dough in the dish, so that the edges overlap in the pan but most of the dough extends beyond the sides of the dish.
• Spoon vegetable mixture into dish and fold dough across the top. Brush with olive oil.
• Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes.
