1Sauté the onion and mushrooms, add the pork cubes and brown. Cool completely — warm filling tears the phyllo.
2Cut each phyllo sheet in two. Place a spoon of filling at one end, fold the sides in and roll into a parcel. Brush with olive oil.
3Bake at 180°C for 35-40 minutes until deep golden and crisp. Rest 5 minutes before serving — the cheese inside is lava.
Chef's Tip
- Cooling the filling first is what keeps the phyllo crisp — warm filling steams it from inside.

- The double-fold sides create sealed ends: steam stays inside and cooks the pork gently.
- Kasseri melts into strings that bind the filling; mozzarella would leak water instead.
