Grecian Cheese Points





Yields
Makes 18 servings

Greek foods suit the tastes of Sunset reader Nancee Melin. And she uses a Greek touch with filo to make these often-requested cheese-filled triangles.

 3 ounces neufchâtel (light cream) or cream cheese
 1 cup (4 oz.) crumbled tomato-basil flavor or plain feta cheese
 1 cup shredded (3 to 4 oz.) gruyère cheese
 1 large egg
 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
 6 filo dough sheets (12 by 17 in.)
  Butter-flavored cooking oil spray
Step 1
1

Mix neufchâtel, feta, gruyère, egg, and parsley.

Step 2
2

Stack filo sheets neatly. From a narrow side, cut filo stack into 3 equal strips. Lift 1 strip from stack and lay flat; cover remaining pieces with plastic wrap to prevent drying. Mist the single strip lightly with cooking oil spray.

Step 3
3

Place 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture on one end of strip. Bring a corner end of filo strip over filling to meet opposite edge of filo, forming a triangle, then continue to fold as a triangle (like a flag) until the whole strip is wrapped around filling. As shaped, keep filled triangles covered with plastic wrap. Repeat to use remaining cheese and filo.

Step 4
4

Place triangles, loose ends beneath, well apart on a nonstick baking sheet. Mist triangles lightly with cooking oil spray. If making ahead, freeze solid, then package airtight.
