Ingredients

For the Filling:

1 cup crumbled Feta cheese 6 ounces
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese 5 ounces
¾ cup ricotta cheese 6 ounces
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
¼ teaspoon salt and pepper

For the Triangle Pies:

20 sheets of phyllo dough thawed (about 8 ounces) (9”x14”)
6 to 8 tablespoons butter melted

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Place all the filling ingredients in a large bowl and mix until well combined.
Place one sheet of phyllo dough on the counter and brush it with the melted butter. Place another layer of phyllo dough on top and brush it with the melted butter.
Cut the stack of phyllo sheets in 3 long strips (approximately 3 inches wide and 14 inches long)
Place 1 tablespoon of the filling at the end of each strip of layered phyllo dough.
Starting at the end with the filling, fold the corner over to make a triangle. Continue folding the triangle over onto itself until you get to the end of the strip.
Continue with the rest of the phyllo and filling to make approximately 30 triangle pies.
Place the triangles on a baking sheet and bake for 15 to 18 minutes until golden brown.
