Mix the crumbled white cheese with finely chopped parsley.

Cut the phyllo sheets into square pieces; whisk the egg and water and brush a thin layer over the surface of each piece.

Place the filling in the center of the squares, fold the four corners together in the middle and seal tightly like a bundle.

Heat the oil over medium heat and fry the bundles until golden brown on all sides. Caution: if the oil is too hot, the outside may brown quickly while the inside stays cold — fry over medium heat.
