Feta Cheese Triangles
1 lb feta cheese, crumbled
2 egg yolks
1 whole egg
3 tbsp chopped parsley
dash finely ground pepper
3/4 lb butter, melted and kept warm
1 lb phyllo
Mash feta cheese with fork. Add egg yolks, egg, parsley, and pepper.
Melt butter in saucepan. Keep warm, but do not allow to brown.
Lay sheet of phyllo on large cutting board. Brush with melted butter. Cut into strips about 1-1/2 to 2 inches wide. Place 1/2 tsp of cheese mixture on each strip about 1 inch from base. Fold to form a triangle. Continue until all cheese mixture and phyllo have been used.
Place trianges, side by side, in shallow roasting pan or baking sheet.
Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve at once.
Makes about 100 pieces.
NOTE: Feta cheese triangles freeze well. Before serving, remove from freezer and let stand 15 to 20 minutes. Bake at 325 until golden brown.
** Pan must have 4 joined sides; otherwise butter will fall to bottom of the oven and burn.
