"I came up with this take-off on Greek spanakopita (spinach pie) when I had an overabundance of asparagus and a package of phyllo dough," says Colette Gerow of Raytown, Missouri. "Sometimes I add leftover chopped chicken and cut into larger triangles for meals."

These were good but not great. I think they would have been better with a different type of cheese.

I'm not sure what went wrong but my triangles came out really dry. I think I might have overcooked them.

These were a disaster! The dough was too sticky and the cheese filling leaked out. I ended up throwing them away.

I thought these were just okay. The flavor was a bit bland for my taste.

These were easy to make and a great way to use up leftover asparagus. I added a bit of garlic powder and they were perfect.

I followed the recipe exactly but my triangles didn't turn out as golden brown as the picture. They were still tasty though.

These triangles were delicious! I used a sharp cheddar cheese and they had a great flavor. I will definitely be making these again.
