Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Heat the oil and butter in a medium sized pan, add the leeks with 1/4 teaspoons salt and a dash of pepper. Saute over medium heat until the leeks soften, no more than 5 minutes.
- Add the wine and let simmer until the liquid is all cooked off. Move mixture to a bowl and let cool.
- When the leeks are cool, add the walnuts, Parmesan and goat cheeses, the herbs, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Lay out all 8 sheets of phyllo dough on a clean counter and cover them with a damp towel.
- Lay out 2 sheets of the 8, and lightly brush the top sheet with butter. Cut them into 4 strips lengthwise.
- Spoon a heaping teaspoon of filling at the end of each long strip, and fold the phyllo over at a 45 degree angle to make a triangle. Fold the turnovers as if you were folding a flag, but loosely, because the filling will expand during baking.
- Fold at an angle until you get to the end of the strip, and cut off any excess dough.
- Continue making the turnovers in this way, brush them with butter, and put them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- At this point, the turnovers can be refrigerated or frozen.
- Bake for 15 minutes, until crisp and golden.

CREAMY LEEK AND CHEESE PHYLLO CIGARS

Steps:
- For the filling: Melt the butter in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add the leeks and saute until wilted and very soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper, and then transfer to a medium bowl.
- Stir in the soft cheese until it melts and the mixture becomes creamy. Stir in the Parmesan and parsley. Season with red pepper flakes if using. Set aside (you can scoop the filling later or pipe it by transferring the filling to a disposable piping bag with 1/2-inch opening cut from the tip).
- For the cigars: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Open the phyllo dough and unfurl it. With one of the shorter sides facing you, cut the dough in half lengthwise (you're aiming for rectangles about 7-by-18-inches long, but exact size may vary based on brand of dough). Cover the dough with a lightly damp clean kitchen towel so it doesn't dry out while you assemble the cigars.
- Make a cigar by placing one sheet of cut phyllo on your work surface with one of the shorter sides facing you. Brush the dough all over (but lightly) with the melted butter and top with another piece of dough. Continue this process until you've layered three pieces of dough. Brush the surface of the final piece with butter, too.
- Scoop (or pipe) about 1 tablespoon of filling in a line on top of the dough on the side closest to you. Fold the outside pieces of dough inward, and then roll up the dough around the filling to make a cigar shape (a lot like rolling a burrito).
- Transfer the cigar to the prepared baking sheet, and then repeat with the remaining dough and filling. Brush any of the remaining melted butter over the assembled cigars and sprinkle smoked paprika over each one.
- Bake the cigars until golden and crisp, 17 to 22 minutes. Cool at least 5 minutes before serving warm.

Steps:
- 1. Heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium heat in a large, preferably nonstick, skillet and cook the onions until soft and lightly golden, or 10 to 12 minutes. Stir as you cook them. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- 2. Combine the cheeses, yogurt, remaining olive oil, cooked onions, and dill. Beat the eggs lightly and add to the mixture, mixing well. Season with salt and pepper.
- 3. Have the phyllo ready. Place the sheets in front of you and, using a sharp knife, cut lengthwise into 4 equal columns. Stack them, and keep the stack covered with a dry kitchen towel and then over that a damn kitchen towel. Preheat the oven to 350°F, and lightly oil 2 baking sheets.
- 4. Remove 1 strip of phyllo, brush it lightly with olive oil, and place another strip on top. Brush that with oil, too. Place a teaspoon of the filling in the lower right-hand corner of the phyllo, about 1/2 inch from the edge. Fold up the right corner to form a right triangle, and continue folding, the way one folds a flag. Place seam side down on the baking sheet. Continue until the phyllo and filling are used up. Bake in the center of the oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until puffed and golden. Serve warm.
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:
- Make phyllo triangles:
- Cover phyllo stack with 2 overlapping sheets of plastic wrap and then a damp clean kitchen towel. Arrange 1 phyllo sheet on a work surface with a long side nearest you (keep remaining sheets covered) and brush with some butter. Top with 2 more phyllo sheets, brushing each with butter.
- Cut buttered phyllo stack crosswise into 5 (12- by 3 1/3-inch) strips.
- Put 2 teaspoons red peppers and 2 teaspoons goat cheese near 1 corner of a strip and fold corner of phyllo over to enclose filling and form a triangle. Continue folding strip (like a flag), maintaining triangular shape. Put triangle, seam side down, on a baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Make 14 more triangles in same manner, using remaining phyllo and filling (you may have a little butter left over).
- Heat oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then fry triangles in 2 batches until golden, about 1 minute per side. Transfer with tongs to paper towels to drain.
- Make salad:
- Whisk together vinegar, mustard, and salt in a large bowl, then add oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified. Add frisée and olives and toss with dressing, then season with pepper. Mound salad on plates and arrange phyllo triangles alongside.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your phyllo triangles.
- Don't overfill the phyllo triangles. If you do, they will be difficult to fold and seal.
- Be careful not to overcook the phyllo triangles. They should be golden brown and crispy, but not burnt.
- Serve the phyllo triangles warm. They are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.
- Experiment with different fillings. You can use any type of cheese, vegetables, or meat that you like.
Conclusion:
Phyllo triangles are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be made ahead of time and frozen. With a little creativity, you can create endless variations of phyllo triangles to suit your taste. So next time you are looking for a quick and delicious snack, give phyllo triangles a try!
