CHEESE FILLED TRIANGLES



Cheese Filled Triangles image

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.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lemon
1 cup mashed potatoes
1/2 cup shredded smoked gouda
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley or basil(optional)
4 to 6 teaspoon honey mustard
6 ten-inch flour tortillas
Oil for brushing

Steps:

  • To make lemon zest, rub the lemon over a fine grater. Make sure you rub the fruit on a different spot each time you rub, so you remove the yellow skin not the yucky white pith. In a medium bowl mix together the lemon zest, potatoes, cheese, and parsley.
  • Lay 2 tortillas on the work space and brush each with honey mustard. Spread about a 1/3 of the potato mixture over one of the tortillas. Top with the other tortilla, mustard side down. Repeat with the remaining tortillas to make 3 tortilla sandwiches.
  • Brush a non-stick skillet lightly with oil and heat over medium heat. Add a filled tortilla to the pan and cook until brown, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to cutting board and cut into wedges. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh basil for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh basil, you can use 1/4 cup dried basil.
  • Use a good quality Parmesan cheese. Grated Parmesan cheese is best, but you can also use shredded Parmesan cheese if that's all you have.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough.
  • Roll the dough out thinly. The thinner the dough, the crispier the crackers will be.
  • Bake the crackers until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are crispy.

Conclusion:

Basil Cheese Triangles are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks. These crackers are also a great way to use up leftover basil. If you are looking for a tasty and easy recipe, give Basil Cheese Triangles a try. You won't be disappointed!
