Jamie Oliver 5 Ingredients Feta Filo Turnovers

The Jamie Oliver 5 Ingredients Feta Filo Turnovers are crispy, golden parcels filled with tangy feta and fragrant marjoram—an irresistible combo that makes the perfect snack, appetizer, or light lunch. I made these for a weekend brunch and they flew off the plate! A quick drizzle of honey takes them over the top. (inspired by Jamie Oliver)

Ingredients Needed

• 4 sheets of filo pastry
• 200g feta cheese
• 10g fresh marjoram (about ½ bunch)
• 25g shelled unsalted pistachios
• Runny honey, to serve

How To Make Jamie Oliver 5 Ingredients Feta Filo Turnovers

1. Prepare the Filo: Lay a sheet of filo on a damp tea towel and brush it lightly with olive oil. This keeps the pastry from drying out and adds crispness when cooked.
2. Add Filling: Crumble a quarter of the feta over one side of the pastry, leaving a 3cm border. Sprinkle with a quarter of the marjoram leaves.
3. Fold & Seal: Fold the sheet over the filling, then fold in half again. Press the edges firmly to seal.
4. Cook the Turnover: In a non-stick frying pan over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil. Cook each parcel for 2 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
5. Garnish & Serve: Transfer to a plate. Roughly crush the pistachios and sprinkle on top. Drizzle with honey and serve immediately. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

Why I Love This Recipe

I love how fast and adaptable this is. The filo crisps up beautifully, and the sweet-salty combo of feta, pistachios, and honey is addictive. Plus, you can tweak the filling with herbs or extras like spinach if you’re feeling creative.

Recipe Tips

• Work quickly with filo to avoid it drying out—keep it covered with a damp cloth.
• Distribute feta evenly to avoid empty pockets.
• Seal the edges well so the filling doesn’t leak during cooking.
• Use medium heat to get a golden crisp without burning.
• Serve immediately for the best texture.
