Phyllo-Wrapped Smoked Mozzarella With Honey, Figs, And Walnuts

1. 1

   Unfold the phyllo sheets and place on a dry work surface with a slightly damp towel on top to keep them from drying out. Take out 1 sheet of phyllo and place it verically on a work surface, with a short edge toward you. Place 1 piece of mozzarella near the bottom of the sheet. Fold the end up loosely over the cheese, then fold the in the sides. Keep folding until you have a tidy package about 3 1/2 by 4 inches. Make 5 more packets with the remaining cheese and phyllo.

2. 2

   In a large skillet, heat extra-virgin olive oil over medium heat. Saute 3 phyllo-wrapped mozzarella pastries at a time, until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

3. 3

   While pastries saute, combine figs and honey in a small saucepan. Cook on low heat until the honey is warm.

4. 4

   Place 1 mozzarella pastry on each plate. Spoon softened figs onto each pastry and drizzle warm honey over each serving. Sprinkle with flaxseeds and walnuts and serve immediately.
