Cheese Filled Triangles Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. In a large skillet, heat butter over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook and stir until tender. Add spinach; cook and stir 3-4 minutes longer or until liquid is evaporated. Transfer to a bowl; cool slightly. Stir in cheeses, eggs, bread crumbs, salt and pepper., Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a work surface; spritz with cooking spray. (Keep remaining phyllo covered with plastic wrap and a damp towel to prevent it from drying out.) Cut sheet crosswise into four 9x3-1/2-in. strips., Place 1 tablespoon filling on one end of each strip. Fold dough over filling, forming a triangle. Fold triangle over, forming another triangle. Continue folding, like a flag, until you reach the end of the strip. Spritz end of dough with cooking spray and press onto triangle to seal. Turn triangle and spritz top with cooking spray. Repeat with remaining phyllo and filling., Place triangles on baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Freeze option: Freeze unbaked triangles in freezer containers, separating layers with waxed paper. To use, bake triangles as directed, increasing time as necessary to cook through.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F degrees.
• Lightly grease a baking sheet.
• In a medium bowl, combine cheeses, egg, green onion and pepper; set aside.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out half the puff pastry to a 10 inch square. With a sharp knife, cut pastry into 9 even squares, repeat with other half of puff pastry.
• Working with one square at a time, place a spoonful of the cheese mixture in the middle of each pastry square; brush edges very lightly with water, then fold one corner over to meet the opposite corner, forming a triangle.
• Press edges together to seal, then crimp firmly shut with the tines of a fork.
• Place triangles on baking sheet; brush the tops with the second beaten egg.
• Bake for 13 to 15 minutes or until the tops are golden and the bottoms are nicely browned.

Steps:

• To make lemon zest, rub the lemon over a fine grater. Make sure you rub the fruit on a different spot each time you rub, so you remove the yellow skin not the yucky white pith. In a medium bowl mix together the lemon zest, potatoes, cheese, and parsley.
• Lay 2 tortillas on the work space and brush each with honey mustard. Spread about a 1/3 of the potato mixture over one of the tortillas. Top with the other tortilla, mustard side down. Repeat with the remaining tortillas to make 3 tortilla sandwiches.
• Brush a non-stick skillet lightly with oil and heat over medium heat. Add a filled tortilla to the pan and cook until brown, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to cutting board and cut into wedges. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Serve.

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.
• Top with second sheet and brush with butter.
• Cut into lengthwise strips 5 inches wide.
• Combine cheese, egg and salt in a bowl.
• Place 1 tablespoon of cheese mixture at one end of phllo strip.
• 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.
