Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup whole-milk ricotta
3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon or orange zest (optional)
1 large egg
Coarse salt
1/4 cup ( 1/2 stick) unsalted butter
2 tablespoons honey, plus more for serving
6 sheets frozen phyllo dough, thawed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, combine ricotta, sugar, vanilla, zest (if using), egg, and pinch of salt. Mix well to combine. In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave butter and honey on high until butter melts, 30 to 45 seconds. Stir well to combine.
  • Lay 1 sheet phyllo on a work surface (cover other sheets with a lightly damp towel). Using a pastry brush, gently brush with honey mixture. Lay 2 more sheets phyllo on top, brushing each with honey mixture. Cut crosswise into 4 rectangles. Place 2 tablespoons ricotta mixture at one end of each rectangle; gently fold phyllo around ricotta like a flag. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining 3 sheets phyllo. Bake until golden brown and shiny, 30 to 35 minutes. Serve warm, drizzled with more honey.

I'm not a big fan of ricotta cheese, but I loved these turnovers. The filling was light and fluffy, and the honey glaze was the perfect amount of sweetness. I will definitely be making these again.

I was really looking forward to trying these turnovers, but I was disappointed. The ricotta filling was bland and the honey glaze was too thick. I won't be making them again.
