Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound feta cheese
  • 1/3 pound cottage cheese
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 pound of filo (phyllo) dough, 9x14 inch sheets
  • 1/2 pound butter

Preparation

  1. Thaw the filo dough and preheat oven to 350°. Crumble the feta cheese into a medium bowl with cottage cheese, beaten eggs, and salt. Stir until combined
  2. Lay a sheet of filo dough horizontally on your workspace and brush with melted butter. Cut the sheet into 6 or 7 strips across the shorter plane (strips should be about 2 inches wide).
  3. Place a spoonful of the cheese mixture onto the end of each strip. Fold over one corner so the end of the strip makes a triangle. Continue folding in triangles all the way up the length of the strip. Place the folded pastries on a greased baking sheet and brush with melted butter.
  4. Bake the pastries for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool and serve!
