Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 ounces cream cheese
  • 8 ounces ricotta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 1 pound phyllo pastry sheets
  • 1 cup butter melted

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix the feta, cream cheese, ricotta, Parmesan and eggs until well combined but slightly lumpy.
  • Place the phyllo dough on a large cutting board or flat surface and keep covered with a damp paper towel while working.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease two large baking sheets.
  • Carefully remove one sheet of dough from the stack and place it in front of you vertically. Using a pastry brush, gently butter the surface of the phyllo sheet.
  • Drop a tablespoon of filling in the center of the sheet, about 2 inches up from the bottom edge. Fold the bottom edge up to cover the filling.
  • Fold the left edge of the sheet into the center, then fold the right edge over the left edge (do not go past the left edge). You should have a strip of dough about 3 inches wide with the filling tucked into the bottom.
  • Starting with the lower left corner, fold the corner of the strip over to the right edge to form a triangle. Continue folding up, then over, until you reach the end of the strip.
  • Place folded triangles onto the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with any leftover melted butter.
  • Bake until golden and flaky, about 15 minutes. Cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
