SPINACH AND THREE CHEESE TRIANGLES



Spinach and Three Cheese Triangles image

Little spinach-cheese triangles are probably among the most familiar Greek party foods. This recipe is enriched with several kinds of cheese and fresh herbs. The triangles may also be fried. Seal the seam of each triangle closed by brushing with a little water. Heat 2 inches of olive or other vegetable oil in a large skillet and fry the triangles a few at a time. Remove when golden, drain on paper towels, and serve.

1/2 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup ouzo (Greek-style anise liqueur)
1 cup (about 4 ounces) crumbled feta
1 cup (about 4 ounces) crumbled Greek manouri cheese or ricotta salata

1 large egg, slightly beaten

  • Remove the first phyllo sheet and place it vertically in front of you. Brush lightly with olive oil. Place another sheet on top and brush that lightly, too. Place a teaspoon of the filling on the bottom right-hand corner of the phyllo and fold up like a flag in order to form a small triangle. Place on the baking sheet seam side down. Cover with a kitchen towel as you continue with the remaining filling and phyllo. Brush all the triangles with olive oil.
