Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add sausage to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir with a spatula, breaking apart the sausage until cooked, 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Add spinach, green onions, and red pepper flakes. Continue cooking until the spinach is thawed, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in ricotta cheese and feta cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
- Unwrap the phyllo dough and cover with a towel to keep it from drying out.
- Working with one sheet at a time, brush 1/2 of the sheet with melted butter. Fold it in half lengthwise. Place a 1/4 to 1/2 cup of filling in the top-left corner. Fold the bottom-left corner over into a triangle shape. Continue folding edge over edge until you reach the end of the dough and a triangle shape is formed. Place the triangle on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
- Brush all the triangles with melted butter.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 25 minutes.

CHEESE FILLED TRIANGLES
The only tricky part of this recipe is working with phyllo, and once you get the hang of it, it's fun. Sometimes you get a bad batch of phyllo that rips and tears easily, so I always buy an extra just in case. I have frozen these before baking. Just add a few minutes to cooking time when you cook them in a frozen state. I have also doubled this recipe for large parties.

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Slowly cook and stir onion until tender, about 5 minutes. Mix in spinach and salt. Stir in feta cheese, cottage cheese and egg. Cook and stir until thickened, 5 to 10 minutes. Reduce heat to simmer.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Unroll phyllo dough sheets one at a time on a flat surface. Brush with unsalted butter. Cut into strips approximately 5 inches wide. Place 1 tablespoon of the onion, spinach and feta mixture at one end of each dough strip. Fold the end of the strip over the filling so that it forms a triangle. Continue folding the strip in triangles until a small, triangular stuffed pastry remains. Brush with unsalted butter. Repeat with remaining phyllo dough.
- Arrange stuffed triangles on a large baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven 12 to 15 minutes, until golden brown. Serve warm.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Melt the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir the onions into the butter, and cook until the onions have softened and caramelized to a deep, golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes. Stir frequently as the onions cook to keep them from burning. Once done, season with salt and pepper, and set aside to cool.
- Use a sharp knife to cut each sheet of puff pastry into 9 squares. Cut each square in half diagonally to yield 36 triangles. Place the triangles onto the prepared baking sheets, and top with the caramelized onions, pears, and 1 teaspoon of blue cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the pastry is puffed and golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature before serving.
