Basil Cheese Triangles

Ready in: 1-2 hrs

Serves/Makes:   6 dozen

Ingredients:

• 450 grams Feta
• 2 eggs — slightly beaten
• 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil leaves
• 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
• 2 packets frozen filo sheets — thawed
• 1/3 cup butter or margarine — melted

Directions:

Heat oven to 200 degrees C. Grease cookie sheet.

Crumble Feta cheese into small bowl; mash with a fork. Stir in eggs, basil, and white pepper until well mixed.

Cut a stack of filo sheets lengthwise into 2-inch strips. Cover with plastic wrap, then with damp towel to prevent them from drying out.

Place 1 level teaspoon cheese mixture on end of 1 strip; fold filo strip end over end, in a triangular shape, to opposite end. Place on cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining strips and cheese mixture. Brush butter over triangles.

Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until puffed and golden. Serve warm.
