Spoon about 1 rounded tablespoon cheese mixture onto center of each dough round. Fold dough in half over filling; press edges to seal. Place on greased cookie sheet.
3. In small bowl, beat egg yolk and water with fork until well blended; brush over dough foldovers. Sprinkle sesame seed over each.

I wanted to like this because it is quick and easy but I found it a bit uninspiring and a little bland. I think it could be kicked up a notch by adding some sausage for some zing or something of that nature but as the recipe is now, it is just okay

This is another one of my PAC Spring 07 recipes. I was really surprised how easy this was to put together. Lovely! FDH wasn't that crazy about them. (surprise to me) I froze the unbaked leftovers for later.

This recipe is easy and 5 stars. I made this for ZWT II for a Greek recipe, and I thought it was really good. The cheese is a huge taste, but that's what it's supposed to be. We really like these, AND they looked beautiful!

I was leery as I always am when Feta is pretty much the main ingredient because it is such a strongly flavored cheese but these were wonderful! They are NOT too strongly flavored; the mix of flavors and textures is very nice; creamy yet crunchy...another winning recipe I plan to make again

Wow, these were good! I made some with the olives, and some with a chopped tomatoe/onion/garlic mixture for appy's this weekend and boy did they disappear fast! Both were equally delicous, and I can see many different fillings being delicious with this. Thanks for posting!
