Savory Cheese and Herb Filo Pastry Pockets

In a mixing bowl, combine the **cottage cheese**, **chopped herbs**, **grated cheese**, and **eggs**. Add your preferred **spices** for flavor, adjusting to taste. Mix everything until well combined, ensuring that the filling is rich and delicious.

Take the **filo pastry** and divide it into three strips. For each pocket, layer **four thin sheets** of pastry, brushing each layer with a mixture of **melted butter and water** to keep it moist and flaky.

Once the layers are prepared, take **one tablespoon** of the filling and place it at one end of the layered pastry. Carefully fold and roll the pastry from side to side, sealing in the filling. Make sure to give it a nice shape, similar to the video demonstration.

After all pockets are assembled, mix the **egg yolk and milk** to create an egg wash. Use this mixture to brush the tops of the pockets, giving them a beautiful golden finish when baked. Additionally, sprinkle **sesame seeds** on top for extra flavor and crunch.

Preheat your oven to **180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit)**. Place the pastry pockets on a baking tray and bake them for about **20 minutes**, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Once they are done, remove from the oven, let them cool slightly, and enjoy these delightful savory snacks!
