Low-Fat Cheese Triangles
Recipe By : Eating Well Secrets of Low-Fat Cooking Serving Size : 24 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Appetizers 1 Point Per Serving
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- vegetable cooking spray 3/4 cup yogurt cheese -- see note 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese 1 large egg white -- lightly beaten 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese -- fresh 1 tablespoon fine dry breadcrumbs pinch cayenne 8 sheets filo dough -- thawed 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Position rack in upper third of oven; preheat to 350º. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick cooking spray; set aside. In a bowl, stir together the yogurt cheese, feta, egg white, parsley, parmesan, bread crumbs and cayenne. Set the stack of filo sheets to one side of the work surface and keep them covered with a damp towel. Place one sheet with the long edge facing you. Brush lightly with olive oil. Top with a second sheet and brush with oil. Cut filo vertically into 6 strips. Place a heaping teaspoon of cheese filling at the bottom of the first strip. Fold one corner over the filling, then continue to fold loosely (as you would a flag) to form a triangle. Place triangles on the prepared baking sheet and brush tops with olive oil. With a sharp paring knife, make a small slit in the top of each to allow steam to escape. Repeat with remaining sheets and filling. (Triangles can be prepared up to this point and frozen. Freeze them in a single layer, then place in a plastic bag and store up to two months. Do not thaw before baking.) Bake the triangles until golden brown, about 25 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving warm.
