Ingredients

8 sheets (8x8 inches) phyllo dough
2 tbsp, melted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 large eggs
2 tbsp, finely chopped fresh parsley
1 tbsp, finely chopped fresh dill
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Brush lightly with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Place one phyllo sheet on a clean surface. Brush with melted butter, sprinkle with 1/8 tsp flour, and fold in half to form a rectangle.
Step 3: Mix 1 egg, 1 tbsp parsley, 1/2 tbsp dill, salt, and pepper. Place a small spoonful of filling in the center of the folded phyllo.
Step 4: Fold the phyllo over the filling to form a triangle, sealing edges by pressing gently. Repeat with remaining sheets and filling.
Step 5: Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C). Fry brik triangles until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Step 6: Drain on paper towels before serving.
