12Spring Roll Wrappers(or 6 sheets of phyllo dough)
½ cupAkawi(Shredded)
½ cupMozzarella Cheese (Shredded)
2tb.ParsleyFinely Chopped
¼tsp.Black Pepper
1tsp.All-Purpose Flour
1tsp.Water
Vegetable Oilfor Frying
Instructions
Shred the akawi cheese and place in a medium bowl. Add the chopped parsley and black pepper and mix well.
Have a large plate or baking sheet set aside.
Mix the teaspoon of flour with a little bit of water to make a paste to use as your glue.
Cut the phyllo dough in half and turn it so a pointy side is facing you. Spread 1 tablespoon of the cheese filling on top. Fold sides in first, then the bottom over.
Using your fingers or a pastry brush, dab a little of the ‘glue’ on the triangle bottom and fold the rest of the roll. Repeat until you run out of filling.
Transfer the cheese roll onto the plate seam side down.
Heat up the oil to 350F degrees and drop about 4-5 cheese rolls at a time. Fry until golden, about 3 minutes. Drain on a paper towel lined plate. Serve hot.
Air-Fryer (Alternate Method) : Set the air-fryer to 375F. Spray the cheese rolls with cooking spray on all sides. Place the cheese rolls in the basket of the air fryer, without over crowding. Air-fry for 2 minutes. Flip the cheese rolls over and air-fry for 2 more minutes.
Drain on a paper towel lined plate. Serve hot.
Notes
Note: If you are not frying immediately, freeze them for about 30 minutes and transfer to a freezer-safe storage bag. They last a few months frozen and make a great easy snack when your short on time!
