Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 pack phyllo pastry sheets
- 4 tbsp butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, grated parmesan cheese, finely chopped green onions, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Lay out the phyllo pastry sheets on a clean, dry surface and cover them with a slightly damp kitchen towel to prevent drying out.
Take one phyllo sheet and lightly brush it with melted butter. Fold it in half lengthwise to create a long strip.
Spoon a small amount (about 1 teaspoon) of the cheese mixture near one corner of the strip. Fold the corner over diagonally to form a triangle, encasing the filling.
Continue folding the triangle over itself along the strip, maintaining the triangle shape, until you reach the end of the phyllo sheet. Brush the outside with melted butter to seal.
Repeat this process with the remaining phyllo sheets and cheese mixture until you’ve used all the filling or phyllo.
Arrange the cheese-filled triangles on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small gap between each piece.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the phyllo triangles are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your cheesy appetizers warm!
