1Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a baking tray with parchment.
2Mix feta, yogurt, eggs, olive oil, dill, mint and pepper in a bowl.
3Lay one phyllo sheet on the counter and brush lightly with butter.
4Spoon 2 tbsp of filling along the bottom edge of the sheet.
5Fold the sides in and roll up into a cigar, then fold into a triangle.
6Place seam-side down on the tray and repeat with the rest.
7Brush the tops with butter.
8Bake 25-30 minutes until golden and crisp.
9Rest 5 minutes before serving — the filling is molten straight from the oven.
Chef's Tip
- Yogurt in the filling keeps it creamy without going rubbery like pure feta does.

- Butter, not oil, between the phyllo sheets gives the bakery-style shatter.
- Folding into triangles seals the edges so the filling steams inside, not out.
