Ingredients
▢12 sheets phyllo dough, thawed
▢1 to 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
▢¼ feta cheese, crumbled
▢1 cup grape or cherry tomatoes, cut in half
▢1 green bell peppers, washed, dried, chopped
▢½ red onions, chopped
▢¼ cup Kalamata olives, pitted, chopped
▢1 cup rotisserie or roasted chicken, shredded, optional
▢½ cup fresh parsley, chopped
▢¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
▢kosher salt and black pepper
▢crushed red pepper, optional
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375F.
Brush a sheet pan with extra virgin olive oil.
Lay 3 sheets of phyllo down in the prepared sheet pan and brush with the olive oil. Repeat with another 3 sheets of phyllo, brushing the top with extra virgin olive oil. At this point, you should have used ½ of the phyllo sheets.
Now add half of the shredded mozzarella cheese and a little feta cheese.
Continue laying phyllo sheets, repeating the same process until you finish all the phyllo sheets you have.
Coat the very top sheet with the olive oil and add the rest of the cheese.
Evenly spread the veggies, olives, fresh herbs, and all the pizza toppings you have.
Cut the pizza carefully into three-inch squares. You should have 12 squares.
Bake on the center rack of the heated oven for about 15 to 20 minutes or until the phyllo edges turn golden brown and crispy.
Remove from oven and serve!
Notes
Tips for working with phyllo dough: Since phyllo dough is sold frozen, thaw it in the fridge overnight. Bring it to room temp before use by setting it on the counter for about an hour before you start working with it. And when you are assembling your phyllo dough pizza, cover the phyllo with a clean, damp cloth to keep the sheets moist.
How to serve phyllo pizza? This homemade pizza makes a great small appetizer to feed a crowd. For a light meal, serve it with a big salad.
Leftovers and storage: Phyllo dough pizza will keep for up to 3 days in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat it in a 350 degrees F heated oven on a lightly oiled baking sheet until heated through.
