Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 sheets Phyllo pastry sheets
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup Dried cranberries, chopped
- 0.25 cup Golden raisins, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.25 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans, toasted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a mixing bowl, combine the gorgonzola cheese, cream cheese, chopped dried cranberries, golden raisins, honey, and toasted walnuts. Stir until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
Unroll the phyllo pastry sheets on a clean, dry surface, keeping them covered with a damp kitchen towel to prevent drying out.
Take one sheet of phyllo and brush it lightly with melted butter using a pastry brush. Place another sheet on top and brush it with melted butter as well. Repeat with a third sheet, lightly buttering it.
Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, cut the layered phyllo into 3-inch-wide strips.
Place about 1 teaspoon of the cheese-and-fruit filling at the bottom of one phyllo strip. Fold one corner of the strip over the filling to create a triangle. Continue folding the strip in a triangular fashion, like folding a flag, until you reach the end of the strip. Press the edges gently to seal.
Place the triangle seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining ingredients, creating more triangles.
Brush the tops of all the assembled triangles with a little melted butter for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the phyllo is crisp and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the triangles to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
