More cheese, please! The wonderful flavor of Monterey Jack cheese plays a big part in making these cheese triangles taste so good. Buttery and flaky, these little pillows are filled with cheese. Adding an egg helps give the filling a rich flavor. An easy-to-make appetizer for any occasion.

How To Make cheese triangles

Step 1

Combine cheese, eggs, parsley, and salt. Mix well.

Step 2

Cut each sheet of phyllo dough in half, working with one sheet at a time. Keep the rest of the pastry covered with a damp towel until ready to use. Brush with butter. Fold each half twice vertically to form a narrow strip.
Step 3

Place about 1 Tbsp cheese mixture at one end of each strip. Fold one corner across the filling to form a triangle. Brush with more butter.
Step 4

Continue folding in triangles, flag-style, and brushing with butter.
Step 5

Place triangles on baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees F for 15 to 20 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.
