Steve;
Well, I finally baked my little wheel of cheese wrapped in phyllo. I cut it in half to make two layers (like a cake) and drizzled honey and pecans in the middle before wrapping it. 350 for 15 minutes and it was oohey gooey goodness. The worst part was realizing that was the last of my cheese and I have to hope my jersey freshens this spring before I can make more. (call me a snob, but I cant stomach store bought milk after having Tinkerbelle's....) The honey made the cheese turn even more yellow, but it tasted great.Thought you might like a photo.
Diana's recipe:For my size wheel I used about 8 sheets of phyllo dough. I took my wheel and cut it through the middle to make two thin layers (like making a two layered cake). Then I spread a nice coating of honey on the cut sides of the cheese. I sprinkle a layer of crushed pecans on the honey and sandwiched the halves back together so it looked like it id before it was cut, now it just has a inner layer of honey and nuts. You could probably use whatever type of crushed nut you prefer. You could even get fancier and add some chopped dates/ figs/ or even dried sweetened cranberries!!!.. Then I brushed about 8 sheets of phyllo dough with melted butter and set the wheel in the center of all eight sheets and folded the phylo over so it was all wrapped like a little present. I put it on a greased baking sheet with the phyllo wrapping ends on the bottom- so it doesn't unfold while baking, and put it in a preheated oven at 350 for about 15 minutes, until the phyllo was brown and toasty. I let it rest for at least 5 minutes before cutting. Now if your wheel is bigger you may have to let it go longer or use more phyllo. I don't think you can really mess it up, however it comes out I am sure it will be good.
