Preparation

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.

Beat the cooled melted butter with the sugar and egg whites until mixture is thick and smooth.

Brush 1 sheet of phyllo with a thin layer of the butter mixture.

Sprinkle with Cayenne pepper and grated cheese. Top with a second phyllo sheet and brush with the butter mixture again.

Cut in half lengthwise and then crosswise to obtain 4 rectangles.

Cut each rectangle into 4 strips.

Transfer to baking sheet, making sure the pieces do not touch.

Sprinkle lightly with sunflower seeds.

Bake about 5 minutes until golden brown. Cool on a rack.

Repeat with remaining ingredients.

Store in an airtight container.

Tips

If wafers become soft, reheat briefly to crisp.
