Authentic Greek appetizer: Phyllo triangles filled with a creamy blend of feta and Monterey Jack cheeses, parsley, and flavors of Athens.
Ingredients:
- 0.25 cup butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups hot milk
- salt and white pepper to taste
- 1 (16 ounce) package frozen phyllo dough, thawed
- 1 pound feta cheese, crumbled
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup butter, melted and divided
- 2 tablespoons chopped Italian flat leaf parsley
Instructions:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Whisk in flour until smooth. Gradually add hot milk to avoid lumps. Stir and cook until sauce thickens to coat a spoon. Season with salt and white pepper, then let it cool off the heat.
- Mix in the feta cheese, egg yolks, Monterey jack cheese, 3 tablespoons melted butter, and parsley once the sauce has cooled.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Slice the phyllo dough into 3-inch wide strips, working with one stack at a time and keeping the others covered with a damp towel to retain moisture.
- Working one delicate, paper-thin phyllo sheet at a time, delicately brush it with rich butter. Add a generous teaspoon of the delectable cheese mixture to one end. Gently fold a corner up to meet the opposite edge, creating a satisfying triangle shape. Keep folding until you reach the end of the strip. Place each perfectly crafted parcel on a baking sheet, and proceed in the same exquisite manner with the remaining phyllo strips.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until beautifully golden brown. These can also be made in advance, folded, and stored in the freezer until you are ready to bake and serve.
