Things You'll Need:
- Frozen phyllo dough, 1/2 package, thawed
- Waxed paper
- Damp kitchen towel
- 3/4 cup melted butter
- Several peeled garlic cloves
- 1/2 cup finely chopped almonds
- 1 cup of Italian breadcrumbs
- Roasting pan with rack
-
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
-
Step 2
Unroll the phyllo dough and place it on a piece of waxed paper. Use a sharp knife to cut the phyllo dough across into 2-inch strips. Put a piece of waxed paper over the top of the phyllo strips, and then cover them with a damp kitchen towel to keep them moist while you work.
-
Step 3
Lay one strip at a time on a separate piece of waxed paper and brush it with melted butter.
-
Step 4
Sprinkle a bit of finely chopped almonds on the phyllo strip and put a garlic clove at one end. Roll up the strip of dough, sealing the edges as you go.
-
Step 5
Brush the anti-vampire bite with a bit of extra butter and roll it in the breadcrumbs. Repeat with the remaining phyllo strips.
-
Step 6
Place the anti-vampie bites on a rack and put the rack in a roasting pan and bake them until they're golden brown--20 minutes.
-
Step 7
Serve the anti-vampire bites hot out of the oven.
