Ingredients

  • Egg  -  1 beaten
  • Parsley  -  1 bunch
  • Garlic  -  2 cloves minced
  • Red Pepper  -  3/4 teaspoon
  • Gouda Cheese  -  6 oz
  • Emmentaler Cheese  -  6 oz
  • Phyllo Dough  -  12
  • Unsalted Butter  -  1 1/2 cups

Instructions

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

One sheet at a time, place phyllo dough on a flat surface and brush with about 1 tablespoon butter. Cut lengthwise into 4 strips. Place a rounded teaspoon of the egg mixture at one end of each strip. Fold corner of 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 remaining phyllo dough.

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

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