INGREDIENTS

  • Filling

    • 🥚 1 egg, lightly beaten
    • 1 bunch fresh parsley, minced
    • 🧄 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • ¾ teaspoon crushed red pepper
    • 6 ounces smoked Gouda cheese, shredded
    • 6 ounces Emmentaler cheese, finely shredded

  • Dough and Preparation

    • 12 sheets phyllo dough
    • 🧈 1 ½ cups unsalted butter, melted

STEPS

1

In a medium bowl, whisk together egg, parsley, garlic, and crushed red pepper. Mix in Gouda and Emmentaler cheese.

2

One sheet at a time, place phyllo dough on a flat surface and brush with about 1 tablespoon butter. Cut lengthwise into four strips. Place a rounded teaspoon of the egg mixture at one end of each strip. Fold corner of the strip over the filling, forming a triangular fold. Continue folding the length of the strip in triangular folds to form a small stuffed triangle. Repeat with the remaining phyllo dough.

3

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly butter a large baking sheet.

4

Arrange stuffed phyllo triangles in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve warm.
