Name: Garlic Phyllo Bundles
Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 35 min
Yield: 20 appetizers.
Ingredients: 10 sheets phyllo dough (14 inches x 9 inches); 1/3 cup butter, melted; 20 garlic cloves, peeled; 7 tablespoons finely chopped walnuts; 1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs

Wonderful roasted garlic wrapped in flaky phyllo dough simply melt in your mouth. Walnuts add a surprising crunch, while the melted butter lends rich flavor to the bite-sized bundles.—Taste of Home Test Kitchen

Ingredients

10 sheets phyllo dough (14 inches x 9 inches)
1/3 cup butter, melted
20 garlic cloves, peeled
7 tablespoons finely chopped walnuts
1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs

Directions

Lightly brush one sheet of phyllo with butter; place another sheet of phyllo on top and brush with butter. Keep remaining phyllo covered with plastic wrap and a damp towel to prevent it from drying out.
Cut the two layered sheets into four 14x2-1/4-in. strips. Place one garlic clove on lower corner of each strip; sprinkle 1 teaspoon walnuts over length of strip.
Fold dough over garlic, forming a triangle. Fold triangle up, then fold triangle over, forming another triangle. Continue folding, like a flag, until you come to the end of the strip. Brush end of dough with butter and press onto triangle to seal.
Place bread crumbs in a small shallow bowl. Brush both sides of triangle with butter; dip in bread crumbs. Place on a greased baking sheet. Repeat.
Bake at 350° for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.

I love this recipe. I've made it for the last two Halloween parties and I call it Vampire Repellent. These little bundles are very rich and wonderful. Last year I changed it up a bit and used cashews instead of walnuts and I liked it even better. This year I might try pecans!
