CHEESE FILLED TRIANGLES

The only tricky part of this recipe is working with phyllo, and once you get the hang of it, it's fun. Sometimes you get a bad batch of phyllo that rips and tears easily, so I always buy an extra just in case. I have frozen these before baking. Just add a few minutes to cooking time when you cook them in a frozen state. I have also doubled this recipe for large parties.

Time 1h

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach - thawed, drained and squeezed dry
1 teaspoon salt
1 (4 ounce) package feta cheese, crumbled
½ cup cottage cheese
1 egg, beaten
1 (16 ounce) package phyllo dough
1 cup unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Slowly cook and stir onion until tender, about 5 minutes. Mix in spinach and salt. Stir in feta cheese, cottage cheese and egg. Cook and stir until thickened, 5 to 10 minutes. Reduce heat to simmer.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Unroll phyllo dough sheets one at a time on a flat surface. Brush with unsalted butter. Cut into strips approximately 5 inches wide. Place 1 tablespoon of the onion, spinach and feta mixture at one end of each dough strip. Fold the end of the strip over the filling so that it forms a triangle. Continue folding the strip in triangles until a small, triangular stuffed pastry remains. Brush with unsalted butter. Repeat with remaining phyllo dough.
  • Arrange stuffed triangles on a large baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven 12 to 15 minutes, until golden brown. Serve warm.

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 package (10 ounce) frozen chopped spinach, thawed, drained and squeezed dry
1 teaspoon salt
1 package (4 ounce) feta cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1 egg, beaten
1 package (16 ounce) phyllo dough
1 cup unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Slowly cook and stir onion until tender, about 5 minutes. Mix in spinach and salt. Stir in feta cheese, cottage cheese and egg. Cook and stir until thickened, 5 to 10 minutes. Reduce heat to simmer.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Unroll phyllo dough sheets one at a time on a flat surface. Brush with unsalted butter. Cut into strips approximately 5 inches wide. Place 1 tablespoon of the onion, spinach and feta mixture at one end of each dough strip. Fold the end of the strip over the filling so that it forms a triangle. Continue folding the strip in triangles until a small, triangular stuffed pastry remains. Brush with unsalted butter. Repeat with remaining phyllo dough.
  • Arrange stuffed triangles on a large baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven 12 to 15 minutes, until golden brown.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Use Fresh Phyllo Dough: Fresh phyllo dough is much easier to work with than frozen dough. If you can, find it at your local grocery store or Middle Eastern market.
  • Keep the Dough Covered: Phyllo dough dries out quickly, so keep it covered with a damp cloth or plastic wrap at all times.
  • Brush the Dough with Butter: Before you add the filling, brush the phyllo dough with melted butter. This will help it crisp up in the oven.
  • Don't Overfill the Triangles: Too much filling will make the triangles difficult to fold and they will likely burst open in the oven.
  • Bake the Triangles Until Golden Brown: The triangles are done baking when they are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them so they don't overcook.

Conclusion:

Cheese-filled triangles are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have these tasty treats ready to enjoy in no time. So next time you're looking for something quick and easy to make, give cheese-filled triangles a try. You won't be disappointed!
