Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 sheets phyllo pastry sheets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 large leeks (white and light green parts only)
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil)
- 5 ounces goat cheese
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the leeks lengthwise, rinse thoroughly to remove dirt, and then thinly slice into half-moons.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the leeks and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes, or until softened and golden brown. Remove from heat and let cool.
Drain the sun-dried tomatoes from their oil and chop them finely.
In a medium bowl, combine the caramelized leeks, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, goat cheese, thyme leaves, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Lay one sheet of phyllo pastry on a clean work surface, keeping the rest of the phyllo sheets covered with a damp kitchen towel to prevent drying out.
Brush the phyllo sheet lightly with the butter-oil mixture. Place a second sheet of phyllo on top and brush it with the butter-oil mixture as well.
Cut the stacked phyllo sheets into 3-inch-wide strips using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
Place 1 tablespoon of the filling at the bottom of one strip. Fold the corner of the strip over the filling to form a triangle. Continue folding the strip, maintaining the triangle shape, until you reach the end of the strip. Repeat with the remaining strips and filling.
Place the triangles seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with the butter-oil mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
Allow the triangles to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these warm or at room temperature!
