Step 1:
Prepare all the ingredients. Filo dough can be prepared both at home and bought in a store, which will greatly simplify the baking process. For the filling, use hard cheese: Russian, Poshekhonsky and similar types of cheeses. You will also need butter, cream cheese and sesame seeds for decoration to prepare the vertut. Take the cream cheese out of the refrigerator in advance, it should be soft.
Step 2:
Defrost the frozen dough at room temperature for 2 hours, then carefully unwrap it and cover it with a damp towel. Also, during operation, the dough must be constantly covered with a damp towel so that it does not dry.
Step 3:
At this time, prepare the cheese filling. Put the cream cheese in a container. Grate the hard cheese on a coarse grater and transfer to a bowl with cream cheese, season with salt and ground black pepper, mix. The amount of salt and pepper is better determined by taste, focusing on the sharpness and salinity of the cheese.
Step 4:
Put the butter in a small ladle and melt it over medium heat without bringing the butter to a boil.
Step 5:
Take the first sheet of filo dough, smear it with a pastry brush with melted butter. Stepping back a little from the edge, put 1/3 of the cheese filling on the long side of the dough sheet. Cover the filling with the free edge of the dough and roll the dough into a roll. At the same time, during the formation of the roll, carefully close the sides with the dough so that the filling does not come out during baking.
Step 6:
Twist the formed roll with a snail. Do the same with two more sheets of dough. Put the resulting skewers with cheese in a baking dish and smear the remaining melted butter on top. To decorate, sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
Step 7:
Put the form with the skewers in the oven preheated to 180oC and bake for 25-30 minutes. The duration and temperature of baking may vary depending on the temperature and design of the oven.

Butter can be melted in the microwave in the appropriate mode (read the instructions for your device) or in a water bath. How to melt butter in a water bath? You will need two containers of different diameters. Pour water into a large one and put it on the stove. Place the smaller container on top so that it is submerged in water by about half. Put the sliced butter into it. Under the influence of boiling water, the oil will begin to melt. Stir the oil slightly to speed up the process. As soon as the pieces of oil are completely dissolved, remove the container from the stove.
