CHEESY CRAB BITES
Steps:
- Pour the oil into a large heavy-bottomed pot fitted with a deep-frying thermometer.
- Combine the mozzarella, cream cheese, garlic salt and crushed red pepper in a food processor. Pulse until a thick paste is formed, about 30 seconds. Set aside.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the pizza dough to form a 16-by-12-inch rectangle. Use a 3-inch round cutter to cut out 10 to 12 rounds of dough. Use your fingertips to gently stretch each round of dough into a 4-inch circle. Top a round of dough (slightly off-center) with 1 heaping teaspoon of the cheese mixture and 1 teaspoon crabmeat. Fold the dough in half over the filling to create a half-moon. Press the edges together to seal the pocket and crimp with the prongs of a fork. (See Cook's Note.) Repeat this process with the remaining circles and filling.
- Preheat the vegetable oil to 350 degrees F and line a plate with paper towels.
- Working in batches, carefully lay the pizza pockets in the hot oil. Fry until deeply golden brown, 1 to 1 1/2 minute on each side. Remove from the hot oil to the lined plate to cool slightly.
- Garnish with fresh parsley.

CHEESE FILLED TRIANGLES
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.

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 high-quality crab meat. Fresh or frozen crab meat that has been picked clean of shells and cartilage will give your triangles the best flavor.
- Don't overmix the filling. Overmixing can make the filling tough.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the triangles. This will help to prevent the filling from tearing.
- Bake the triangles until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a crispy exterior.
- Serve the triangles with your favorite dipping sauce. This could be a simple tartar sauce, a spicy cocktail sauce, or a creamy dill sauce.
