Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
5 ounces feta -- patted dry if wet, then crumbled
1/4 cup walnuts -- toasted and finely chopped
3/4 teaspoon dried Aleppo chile flakes
9 phyllo sheets -- (17- by 12-inch) (preferably spelt phyllo)
3/4 cup unsalted butter -- melted

4.Place 1 sheet of phyllo with a short end nearest you on a work surface (keep remaining sheets covered) and brush with butter. Place a feta log in center of phyllo sheet parallel to short end. Fold phyllo in half, enclosing log, and brush with butter. Starting at end with log, roll up pastry to resemble a cigar.
5.Transfer, seam side down, to a lightly buttered baking sheet, then make 26 more rolls in same manner.
6.Brush rolls with some butter and bake in middle of oven until golden, about 25 minutes. Cool on baking sheet on a rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Savory pastries are a popular element of Turkish cuisine, with a seemingly endless number of shapes and fillings. These little rolls are called sigara boregi, or pastry cigars, because of their shape.

Cooks' note: Phyllo rolls can be formed 1 day ahead and chilled on baking sheet, covered with plastic wrap. Bring to room temperature before baking.
