Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons milk
• ¼ cup water
• 5 tablespoons butter, melted
• ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
• ½ onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
• 1 (4 ounce) package cream cheese
• 5 12-inch square spring roll wrappers

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.

Step 2

Bake in the preheated oven until crisp and golden, about 25 minutes.

Step 3

Mix cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, feta cheese, garlic, and milk together in a bowl; add onion and cilantro. Stir to combine.

Step 4

Cut one sheet of spring roll wrapper into 3 rectangles, each about 4x12 inches. Lightly brush with melted butter. Place a heaping teaspoon of filling on the 4-inch end of the rectangle. Fold the end over the filling; pick up a corner and fold diagonally, making a triangle. Continue to fold diagonally, making a triangular packet, so the the filling doesn't come out the ends. Dab a little water on the end of the strip and seal the sambusa closed. Repeat with remaining filling and spring roll wrappers. Place on prepared baking sheet.
