CHEESE FILLED TRIANGLES



Cheese Filled Triangles image

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.

CHILLI CON CARNE WITH CHEESE QUESADILLA TRIANGLES



Chilli Con Carne With Cheese Quesadilla Triangles image

This traditional Mexican dish is a joy to feed the family on any weeknight. Full of protein and flavour this dish is sure to please both the carnivorous and picky eaters. The cheesy quesadilla triangles offer an unusual yet delightful twist in place of rice or corn chips. Leftover chilli con carne is also great wrapped in tortillas or served over nachos the next day so you can be sure there will be not a mouthful left of this mouth watering mexican dish. Add less chilli powder (or omit it) for those who aren't fond of spicey foods. Although this dish isn't overpoweringly spicy and chilli does add a subtle, tantalizing zing.

CHEESE TRIANGLES image

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 lb phyllo pastry sheet
1 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 lb monterey jack cheese, grated
1 egg, beaten
salt

Steps:

  • Unroll phyllo dough and place one sheet on work surface (keep remainder covered with wax paper and a damp towel to prevent drying out). Brush dough with melted butter.

Fold over to form triangle and continue folding like a flag until you reach the end of the strip. Brush end with a little butter and tuck into fold to seal. Repeat with remaining phllo and filling. Place triangles on baking sheets until all triangles are assembled. **Ifpreparing ahead of time and freezing, freeze before baking. Flash freeze on baking sheets until frozen and then stack triangles between layers of foil in a large container. Bake without thawing in 400-degree oven for 15-20 minutes. **Ifbaking immediately, preheat oven to 400- degrees F. Place triangles on ungreased baking sheets and brush with butter. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until crisp. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use a good quality sharp cheddar cheese.
  • If you don't have a pastry blender, you can use a fork to cut the butter into the flour.
  • Be sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from becoming too sticky.
  • When rolling out the dough, be sure to do it on a lightly floured surface. This will help to prevent the dough from sticking to the rolling pin.
  • If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little more flour. However, be careful not to add too much flour, as this will make the dough tough.
  • When cutting out the triangles, be sure to use a sharp knife. This will help to prevent the dough from tearing.
  • If you want to make the cheese triangles ahead of time, you can freeze them for up to 2 months. When you're ready to bake them, simply thaw them overnight in the refrigerator.

Conclusion:

Cheese triangles are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or appetizer. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a quick bite to eat. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a batch of cheese triangles that everyone will love.
