Categories: Appetisers, entrees

Ingredients

• 1 lb small curd cottage cheese, drained
• 1/2 lb feta
• 1 box frozen chopped spinach
• 1 egg
• 1/2 tsp grated lemon rind
• nutmet
• salt and pepper
• 2 sticks clarified butter
• 1 boxes filo thawed in refrigerator

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

2. Unroll the filo dough on a flat surface and keep it covered with waxed paper and a damp towel so it doesn’t dry out and become brittle. Remove one sheet and put on large wooden cutting board. Brush with clarified butter. Using a sharp knife, cut the filo into 3 or 4 long strips, depending on whether you want appetiser portions or entree portions. Place a spoonful of spinach filling (adjust quantity to size of triangle) 1 inch from the end of the pastry. Fold the end over the filling to form a triangle, then continue to fold up the strip in triangles, like folding up a flag. Continue with remaining strips of dough, placing filled triangles on the baking sheet and keeping them covered with a towel until all are ready to bake.

3. Brush the triangles lightly with butter, then bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Serve hot. (These may be frozen before baking, layering waxed paper between layers of triangles to keep them from sticking. Bake frozen triangles an extra 10 minutes.)
