Step 1
Mix feta and ricotta in a bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper until combined.
Step 2
Lay one phyllo sheet on a cutting board. Brush lightly with olive oil, then place another sheet on top and brush again.
Step 3
Cut the phyllo into 4 squares. Place 1 tbsp cheese filling in the center of each square.
Step 4
Fold each square into a triangle, pressing edges to seal. Repeat with remaining phyllo and filling.
Step 5
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, pan-fry triangles 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
Step 6
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve warm.
