Phyllo Triangles Stuffed with Cheese is a fantastic appetizer, and party food, or you could just eat it as a snack. I grew up eating this tasty treat just stuffed with cow cheese mixed with eggs, then stuffed in the homemade dough.

Many of you call this one Greek Tiropitas. However, people from the country that I grew up in know it as sirnica, gibanica, burek sa sirom, or pita sa sirom and all that means cheese pie which is savory. I will post a recipe for my tasty cheese pie which is, in my opinion, better than a pizza.

I love phyllo dough. It is so versatile and we can make so many sweet and savory dishes or desserts using these incredible sheets.

What do you make with phyllo dough sheets? Usually, I would make it stuffed with ground beef, also known as Burek or Börek simply because my lovely family requests that one the most.

That being said, I absolutely love it stuffed with shredded potatoes, which are sauteed with onions and well seasoned prior to stuffing it in the dough.

Oh, my mouth is watering as I was writing this one, which is probably the reason to make it asap.

Anyways, these are phenomenal to pack for school or work lunch. When my kids were actually taking lunches to school I would pack these for them. They are convenient and delicious hot or cold.

Also, if you do not want to bake all these triangles at once just pack in between wax paper or parchment paper and place in an airtight container then freeze.

They freeze beautifully, but I am not sure about cooked pastry. They probably do freeze well too.

You see, in my house, they never last too long so everything is eaten as soon as I serve them on the table. Well, most of the time we eat it for lunch just like this with some protein on the side as well as salad.

I am sure that you would be able to air-fry them too. Nevertheless, I have not tried that one yet, but if you by any chance air-fry them, please let us know. I would love to hear how they turned out.

Another great idea is that you could add sauteed or defrosted spinach to the cheese mixture; Just make sure to squeeze all the moisture out.

Phyllo Triangles Stuffed with Cheese is an amazing appetizer, party food, or you could just eat it as a snack. Easy, simple, and delicious!

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 15 minutes

Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

• 1/2 lb. feta cheese, 1 pound block and you crumble the cheese yourself
• 1 block cream cheese, softened
• 2 tbsp sour cream (optional)
• 3 eggs, beaten
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 lb. phyllo dough thawed, 20-24 sheets
• 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tbsp oil

Instructions

1. Start by mixing the eggs and cream cheese with an electric mixer, if possible. Add ground black pepper and crumbled feta cheese. It’s better to buy a block of cheese and crumble it yourself rather than using pre-crumbled feta. It only takes a few seconds, but trust me—it makes a big difference in texture and flavor!
2. Now, take one sheet of phyllo dough and unwrap it. Typically, you’ll find two sheets in one package. These measurements are based on approximately 24 sheets, so please read the notes below for further clarification.
3. Place all the sheets on a dampened cotton kitchen towel and cover them to prevent them from drying out. It’s best to work on a cutting board or a similar surface.
4. Melt the unsalted butter and add two tablespoons of oil, mixing well. If you have clarified butter, you can use that instead. If not, using only oil will also work perfectly.
5. Take one sheet of phyllo dough and lightly brush it with the butter mixture. Be careful not to press too hard—just a light brushing with your pastry brush will do. Place another sheet on top, and then use a sharp knife to cut the sheets lengthwise in half. This will give you two strips from two sheets of phyllo dough.
6. Place about two tablespoons of the cheese mixture at the end of each strip. Fold the corner over to form a triangle, then continue folding from side to side until you reach the end of the strip. Place each folded triangle on a baking sheet and brush the tops with a little more butter. Repeat this process until you’ve used up all of the filling. Typically, I make around 12 to 14 triangles from one half of the phyllo pack.
7. Preheat the oven to 350ºF and bake the triangles for 15–18 minutes or until golden brown. Allow them to cool slightly before serving. I usually serve these triangles with a side salad.

Notes

• Phyllo (also spelled Filo or Fillo) comes in various sizes and thicknesses. For this recipe, use a 1-pound pack of sheets. Athens is the brand I typically use, which I find in the freezer section at Publix or Kroger, near frozen desserts, ice creams, pie shells, and whipped cream tubs.
• Each pack contains two 8-ounce bags, with approximately 20 sheets per bag, each measuring 9 x 14 inches. However, I’ve noticed that some packs may vary in the number of sheets. For example, one of my packs had 24 sheets, which would be enough to make 14 triangles, while another pack contained only 18 sheets.
  
• That being said, for this cheese mixture, you can make 12–14 triangles depending on how much filling you add to each. Remember, each triangle requires two sheets of phyllo. I hope this clears things up! If anything is still unclear, feel free to comment below.

I adore Shrimp in Lemon and Garlic Sauce. Lemon , garlic, and butter sauce is the best in shrimp dishes. This is one of our favorite shrimp recipes, and I serve it usually over creamy pasta. It is absolutely HEAVENLY! 

These shrimp go incredibly well with spaghetti squash, over-bowl greens, zoodles, cauliflower rice, and zucchini noodles. If none of those appeal to you, which I would be shocked if it doesn’t, but lets pretend, then grab a loaf of Italian or French bread and dip it in before eating.

Let me tell you, friends, you should most definitely try it.

I could have done that in the past or I could not. These have the nicest flavor and scent, by far. You must try this recipe since it is incredibly simple and delicious.

I frequently make this when my spouse and I do dates at home. Also, when we have guests who do not have allergies, you can find this dish along with pasta on our table.  The most memorable memories are made over a meal!

Shrimp in Lemon and Garlic Sauce Recipe

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 10 minutes

Total Time 25 minutes

Ingredients

• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 pounds shrimp, with a tail peeled and deveined
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• 3-5 cloves garlic minced
• 1/2 tablespoon dried parsley
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice, use ripe Lemon
• 1/4 teaspoon organic tumeric powder optional, read notes
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest

GARNISH

• Fresh chopped parsley

Instructions

1. Clean, peel, and devein shrimp then pat dry with a kitchen paper towel. If you want to save time you can get already deveined and peeled shrimp.
2. Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat.
3. To the butter add cleaned, shrimp and season the shrimp with sea salt and ground black pepper, to taste.
4. Cook for about two minutes on each side, the shrimp is cooked when it turns completely pink, make sure to stir; Remove from the pan and set aside on a platter or a plate.
5. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter to the skillet, then add the garlic and cook for about one minute.
6. Add lemon juice, and turmeric powder. Cook, while slightly moving the skillet or just stir the butter, garlic, lemon juice, and turmeric together.
7. Cook it for a couple of minutes at medium-high temperature, continuously stirring.
8. Return the shrimp back to the skillet and stir to coat the shrimp with the butter mixture and cook for an additional minute or so. Add lemon zest and stir again. This is just to combine all the flavors and allow the shrimp to soak in the lemony flavor.
9. Take off the heat. Taste test, and add more salt or lemon juice to please your taste buds.
10. Garnish with parsley if you desire. The best served over pasta.

Notes

I add turmeric powder for the color, plus it got amazing health benefits. It is, of course, optional.

If the shrimp are precooked and frozen, thaw them first completely. Submerge the shrimp under cold water and let it sit until defrosted for about 10-15 minutes. Then take kitchen paper towels and make sure to dry the shrimp completely before cooking it.

if it is pre-cooked you don't need as much time to cook on each side. Just make a sauce and toss pre-cooked shrimp in it to heat it through.

Meatless Chili Nachos are simple, delicious and perfect for a game day. Don’t you just love nachos?

If I am being honest, I could seriously eat this whole tray of nachos. I love them as much a much family.

It’s just so comforting and delicious. We just adore finger foods.

This time I tried something different or new, and my kids seems to love it.

When I told them “that chili nachos was meatless”, they could not believe it. It was really tasty.

To be honest, I was impressed myself, although I do not need much to get impressed. I am a simple gal.

Pizza, nachos, finger foods, charcuterie and cheese boards are stable on Sunday when we watch football.

I would not change that for anything. With that being said, sometimes I serve chicken wings or sliders as well.

Regarding this recipe, you can totally double this. Yes, you can!

Well, I totally did, of course. I always have to double recipes because my family do not use serving sizes. They stop when they are full. I rarely have any leftovers, even on Thanksgiving.

On the other hand, I am the one who reads labels all the time. I know, that’s a flaw of being chubby as a kid and now a food blogger.

Anyhow, if you try making this one, I have a feeling that you will like it. It is really refreshing especially if you have vegetarian family member or a friends coming over.

Notes

• You can do this ahead and put together when it time to entertain. If you do not want this meatless, use ground beef or turkey and add chili beans of your choice.
• IF you are using ground beef, make sure to drain any excess oil before adding beans and salsa. For vegan cheese, you may try “GO VEGGIE” Vegan products are dairy and lactose-free and do not contain casein, eggs, or gluten.
• If you don’t want to use chili beans, well, you can use black beans or any that you like or have on hand.
