Take a large bowl and scoop the cream cheese into it.
Then add the za'atar and egg.
Mix together into a homogeneous mass.
Remove the filo pastry from the refrigerator and divide the roll into 6 equal pieces.
For 20 briwat, you'll need 3 pieces of filo pastry. Each piece is about 6.5 cm wide.
Roll out one piece of filo pastry and cover the remaining pieces with a tea towel.
Take 2 sheets of the rolled out roll, brush with 2 teaspoons of neutral oil and then place a heaped tablespoon of the filling in the bottom left or right corner.
Now fold the dough up to the left or right and form the first triangle.
Continue folding in this manner to the end, holding the dough tightly and sealing any loose ends with some neutral oil.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
Bake the briwat in the oven at 180 degrees for about 15 minutes until golden brown.
