We cut the leaves into rectangular pieces three times the size of the feta pieces.
We wrap the feta cheese inside the pieces of the crust sheet.
We fry the pies in butter until golden.
We pour over the honey and sprinkle with a little cinnamon.
Alternative recipe:
Alternative, the recipe can be made with kataifi instead of crust sheet.
We spread half the amount of kataifi on a buttered pan.
We spread the feta well so that it goes everywhere.
We layer the remaining half of the kataifi on top.
We sprinkle with water and pour over scalded butter.
We bake for a while and when golden, we pour over the honey.
The honey must be cold when we poured over the hot honey cheese pie.
