WARM GOAT CHEESE IN PHYLLO

Categories     appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 sheets phyllo dough, defrosted
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted
2 to 3 tablespoons plain dry bread crumbs
3 (3.5- to 5.5-ounce) fresh goat cheese discs
Baby salad greens, such as arugula and mesclun mix, for 6
2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup good olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Unroll the sheets of phyllo dough on a flat surface and cover them with a slightly damp towel. (If the towel is too wet, the dough will get sticky.) Working quickly so the dough doesn't dry out, place one sheet of phyllo on a board, brush lightly with melted butter, and sprinkle lightly with bread crumbs. Place a second sheet of phyllo on top, brush with melted butter, and sprinkle with bread crumbs. Continue until you have 4 sheets stacked up. Cut the sheets in half crosswise to make 2 almost-squares.
  • Cut one of the goat cheeses in half horizontally, making 2 thin discs. Place each disc in the center of one phyllo square. Starting at one corner, fold the phyllo up over the cheese and continue folding and pleating the phyllo around the cheese, as though you're wrapping a round gift that's tied on top. You will end with extra phyllo dough on top; twist the excess into a topknot. Brush the discs all over with melted butter and place on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Continue with the remaining phyllo dough and 2 goat cheese discs to make 4 additional packages.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, until the phyllo is lightly browned. Allow to cool for 5 minutes.
  • While the cheese packages bake, place the salad greens in a large bowl. Whisk the vinegar, mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. Still whisking, slowly add the olive oil, making an emulsion. Toss the salad greens with enough vinaigrette to moisten.
  • Distribute the salad among 6 plates and place one warm goat cheese package in the center of each plate. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve.

Phyllo Triangles-sun-dried tomatoes, caramelized leeks, and goat cheese image

Make and share this Phyllo Triangles-sun-dried tomatoes, caramelized leeks, and goat cheese recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Diana Adcock

Categories     Cheese

Time 45m

Yield 50 appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons oil, from sun-dried tomatoes
2 cups sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, cut into 1/4 inch pieces
2 cups finely chopped shallots
4 tablespoons water
4 tablespoons rice vinegar
4 teaspoons packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons chopped of fresh mint
4 tablespoons butter
2 cups finely chopped leeks, white and pale green parts only
16 ounces fresh goat cheese, like montrachet
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
20 sheets phyllo dough
1/2-1 cup melted butter

Steps:

  • Heat the 3 T oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the tomatoes and shallots sauteing until shallots are soft, around 6 minutes.
  • Add the water, vinegar, and sugar.
  • Cover and cook for 5 minutes, stirring twice.
  • Remove from heat and stir in mint.
  • In another large skillet melt the 4 T butter over medium heat.
  • Add the leeks and saute until golden, around 8 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, and stir in goat cheese and thyme.
  • Lightly season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, white if you prefer.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Lightly grease two cookie sheets and set aside.
  • Place 1 phyllo sheet on work surface, brush with butter and top with another sheet.
  • Cut into five 3x14 inch strips.
  • Place 1/2 T of goat cheese mixture at the base of 1 strip, repeat with the other Top each with 1 t of the sun-dried tomato mixture.
  • Fold 1 corner over the filling, and continue, folding down the strip like a flag, forming a triangle.
  • Place on prepared cookie sheet.
  • Repeat until all the fillings are used.
  • Brush tops with butter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
  • Serve hot or at room temp.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients. Fresh goat cheese, tangy red onion, and flaky phyllo dough will make all the difference in the flavor of your triangles.
  • Don't overfill the triangles. Too much filling will make them difficult to fold and seal, and they may burst open in the oven.
  • Be careful not to overcook the triangles. They should be golden brown and crispy, but not dry.
  • Serve the triangles warm. They're best fresh out of the oven, when the filling is melted and gooey.
  • Get creative with your fillings. You can use any type of cheese, vegetable, or meat that you like. Some popular variations include spinach and feta cheese, roasted red peppers and mozzarella cheese, or chicken and pesto.

Conclusion:

Phyllo triangles are a delicious and versatile appetizer or snack. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little creativity, you can create endless variations that will please everyone at your next party or gathering.
