    20 Servings

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Feta Cheese
  • 3 Eggs
  • 1/4 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
  • very small pinch of Nutmeg
  • 8 ounces Phyllo Dough, Thawed
  • 1/4 cup Butter, Melted

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. In a large bowl, mash together the feta cheese, eggs, yogurt and pinch of nutmeg. Mixture will be slightly lumpy, but mostly smooth.
  3. Using thawed phyllo dough, lightly brush one sheet with melted butter. Top with another sheet of phyllo, and brush again with butter. Top with final sheet of phyllo. Do not butter last sheet. You will have 3 layers of phyllo with melted butter in between. Be sure to keep extra phyllo dough covered with a damp cloth while working.
  4. For medium triangles, cut dough into 4 strips about 4.5 inches wide. Use 1 tablespoon of filling. For large triangles, cut dough into 2 strips about 7 inches wide. Use about 2 tablespoons of filling.
  5. Place filling at the end of 1 strip. Take the left corner and fold it in half over the filling so that it forms a small triangle. Take the triangle point on the right and flip it up. Taking the right corner, fold it over to the left side to keep the triangle shape. Take the triangle point on the left side and flip it up. Repeat these steps until you’ve reached the end of the strip. Continue with remaining phyllo until none remains.
  6. Place triangles on a baking sheet and brush tops with melted butter. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
