Cheesy Spinach Phyllo Triangles RECIPE
Working with phyllo dough is very tedious but the final product is so rewarding! Bring your patience when making this recipe.
Previously I shared this Autumn phyllo recipe:

Printable Recipe
Take the phyllo dough out of the package and cut in half (I found that this filling is only enough for half a package of dough). Place remaining half back into the fridge and use within one week.
The instructions for the phyllo dough will suggest placing a damp towel on top - I found that even lightly damp caused the dough layers to stick together, so just beware that this might happen.
I cut the half dough into 3 strips (see picture below). Each triangle will use 4 sheets of phyllo dough. Brush a little melted butter in between each of the 4 layers. Place a tablespoon size of filling onto the right bottom corner and then fold upwards (see diagram at the top). Continue folding until a triangle is formed (see stages below).
Spread a little more melted butter on top of each triangle and then sprinkle on some parmesan cheese.
Bake in a 375 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes (or until desired golden brown color is achieved) see picture above.
Allow to cool a little (filling will be very hot).
Serve & ENJOY!!
(I even like them cold - see picture below).

You can make these turnovers by using leftover whole cranberry sauce (leftover from Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner).
CHOCOLATE GANACHE WITH HAZELNUTS TURNOVERS
Homemade ganache is quite easy - heavy cream and chocolate chips. Add a few hazelnuts, then freeze and use as a filling for these delicious pastries.

These look good! I have a crockpot spinach and artichoke dip that would probably make a good filling... So one strip rolls up to make one triangle? I pinned it. I'd like to try it sometime.

Thank you. Actually, I took a new package of Phyllo dough and cut it in half (I put half in the fridge to use later). With the other half I cut into 3 strips (trying to make the strips equal size). Then, each spinach triangle will have 4 of the cut strips (with a little melted butter in between each strip). You will pile these 4 strips with melted butter in between before you add the filling. The final step is folding the 4 layered pile into the triangle as seen above. (I hope that helps and doesn't make it more confusing).
DeleteI think I have only made 1 recipe with Phyllo dough, but you make these looks so easy, I have Pinned to give it a try during the holidays. Thank you for sharing on #omhgff, this week your recipe is being featured.
