Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment and butter the parchment.
-
Cook the bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon to a paper bag to drain, leaving the drippins in the pan. When cool, crumble the bacon into a bowl.
-
Gently wilt the green onions in the bacon drippins. Drain on a paper bag, then add to the bacon. Mix in the feta and Parmesan to make the topping.
-
Lay a sheet of phyllo on the prepared baking sheet and brush with the melted butter. Sprinkle one-third of the topping on the sheet, all the way to the edges. Add a few grinds of pepper.
-
Top with another sheet of phyllo, brush with butter, sprinkle with half the remaining topping, and add pepper. Repeat once more with another phyllo sheet, butter, and the remaining topping. Cover with the last sheet of phyllo and brush with butter.
-
Bake 12 to 15 minutes, until browned and crisp. Let cool for a minute.
-
Remove to a cutting board. Using a pizza cutter or serrated knife, cut into four 2-inch wide strips. Then cut each strip into six 2-inch squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.
