Sound delish. Servings is a wild guess for now; I'll update when I make them. Ingredients:
1/2 cup cottage cheese |
2 whole eggs (beaten) |
7/8 cup feta cheese |
0.5 (17 ounce) package phyllo dough (approx. 8 sheets) |
3 1/2 ounces olive oil |
3 tablespoons fresh flat leaf parsley, chopped |
1 pinch pepper (to taste) |
Directions:
1. Crumble feta cheese into a bowl.
2. Add cottage cheese, parsley and eggs and beat together with fork until well blended.
3. Season with pepper.
4. Cut fyllo pastry down the longest length into 2 3/4-inch strips.
5. Take 1 strip and cover other strips with damp tea towel.
6. Brush strip with olive oil and put a heaped teaspoon of the cheese mixture on the bottom left-hand corner.
7. Fold over the corner with the filling so it meets long side edge and forms a triangle.
8. Continue folding the filling up and over from side to side to form a neat triangle.
9. Place on an oiled baking tray and brush with oil.
10. Continue with the rest of the fyllo pastry and mixture is used.
11. Bake in preheated oven 375 degrees for 15 minutes until golden brown.
12. Serve hot.
