Make sure you taste to your liking. ex.If it’s too fatty add more acid (lemon or vinegar). Store in refrigerator, allow it to be at room temperature before baking.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 400 F. To prepare the phyllo dough for filling, slice the phyllo dough into 4 square-ish parts. Pour olive oil into a vessel so it’s easy to brush and have flakey salt on hand.

Step 3

On a lined baking sheet begin layering phyllo dough by brushing with olive oil with a pinch dusting of salt until there are 12 layers. Add a 2 tbsp dollop of tofu ricotta, add 3-4 scallion slices then pinch and fold sides in. Bake for 22 - 25 minutes until golden brown.

Step 4

Serve with fresh herbs on top, a zest of lemon, and maybe a side salad!
