Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Mash the feta with the egg, dried mint and pepper until you get a creamy filling.
Cut each sheet of filo into strips 8 cm wide, keeping the other sheets covered with a damp cloth.
Brush a strip with butter, place a small spoonful of filling at one end and fold it into a triangle like a flag, all the way to the end of the strip.
Brush the top of the triangle with butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Arrange the triangles on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until golden.
