• Servings: 12 triangles
• Skill Level: Intermediate

Ingredients

• 1 package of phyllo dough, thawed
• 200g feta cheese, crumbled
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
• 1 egg, beaten
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• Cherry tomatoes, for garnish
• Fresh herbs, for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the crumbled feta, ricotta cheese, chopped parsley, dill, and beaten egg. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Lay a sheet of phyllo dough on a clean, dry surface and brush it lightly with melted butter. Layer another sheet on top and brush again with butter. Repeat to form a stack of 4 layers.
4. Cut the stacked phyllo into strips approximately 2 inches wide.
5. Place a spoonful of the cheese mixture near one end of the phyllo strip.
6. Fold one corner of the strip over the filling to form a triangle. Continue folding the triangle along the strip, maintaining the triangle shape until you reach the end. Brush the outer layer with more butter.
7. Place the triangles on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
8. Garnish with cherry tomatoes and fresh herbs, then serve warm.

Helpful Tips

For beginners, ensure the phyllo dough stays covered with a damp cloth while working, as it dries out quickly. You can also prepare the filling in advance and store it in the refrigerator.

Storage Instructions

Store the baked feta cheese triangles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.

Ingredient Substitutions

If you prefer different herbs, you can substitute the parsley and dill with mint or cilantro. For a dairy-free version, use a suitable plant-based cheese.

Pairings

These savory delights pair wonderfully with a crisp Greek salad and a refreshing glass of iced tea or lemonade. For a more decadent pairing, serve alongside a fresh tomato and basil soup.
