First Place Phyllo Recipe – Make it Fabulous with Phyllo Recipe Contest


Ingredients
  • 20 sheet Athens® Phyllo Dough (9″x14″), thawed
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup Romano cheese, finely grated
  • 1 onion, minced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 jalapeano pepper, seeded and diced
  • 1 cup canned fire-roasted tomatoes, drained
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon allspice
  • 2 cups provolone, shredded
  • 1/2 cup smoked sausage, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained

Directions

Place Phyllo on a dry work surface. Brush a sheet of Phyllo lightly with oil. Start at the edges and brush toward the center to prevent cracking. Sprinkle lightly with about 2 teaspoons of Romano cheese. Top with second Phyllo sheet, brush lightly with oil and sprinkle with Romano cheese. Repeat with Phyllo, oil and Romano cheese until 20 sheets have been layered.
Cut Phyllo dough into 1/2-inch strips with a pizza cutter or sharp knife. Loosely layer Phyllo strips on pizza pan. Bake in preheated 3501/4F oven for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly browned.
In a small saucepan, heat remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic and pepper. Cook for 3 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, brown sugar, chili powder, cinnamon and allspice. Simmer for 5 minutes.
Remove Phyllo crust from oven. Sprinkle with 1 cup provolone and smoked sausage. Bake 3-5 minutes until provolone is melted. Sprinkle with beans, then the tomato mixture, then the remaining cup of provolone cheese. Return pizza to oven and cook 2-3 minutes longer. Cut into wedges to serve.
