Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 200 g feta cheese, crumbled
- 120 g mozzarella, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon dried mint or oregano
- 1 egg, separated
- 1 teaspoon milk
- Sesame seeds, for topping
- Honey, for drizzling
- Cranberry sauce, for serving

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix crumbled feta, grated mozzarella, dried mint or oregano, and the egg white until well combined.
- Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the top half of the puff pastry sheet. Fold the pastry in half to enclose the filling and gently press to seal.
