Goat Cheese & Honey Phyllo Triangles

Servings: 12 triangles

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces goat cheese softened
  • ½ cup honey divided
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 12 sheets rectangle phyllo dough
  • 4 ounces butter salted, melted
  • ¼ cup water

Instructions

  • Mix goat cheese, 1/4 cup of honey, and salt together until combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up the cheese again.
  • Once cheese is firmed, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare baking sheet by lining with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Remove phyllo sheets from refrigerator. Remove one sheet to work with and cover the stack of the rest with a sheet of plastic wrap. Brush half of the one sheet with melted butter. Take the short end of the sheet and fold in half to meet the other short end. Brush with butter and then fold again. You should have a rectangle strip with a width of 4 inches. Brush with butter again.
  • Place ½ tablespoon of goat cheese mixture in the bottom corner of the strip. Fold corner over the cheese to make a triangle. Don't press down or else the filling will spill out. Continue to fold triangle up (like your folding a flag) until a little extra piece of phyllo is remaining. Brush the triangle and seal the extra piece of dough and place on prepared baking sheet, seal side down. Repeat with 11 other pieces of phyllo. Make sure triangles are separated at least 1 inch apart on the baking sheet.
  • Bake triangles in preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. Some filling may escape but that's to be expected.
  • While the triangles bake, combine remaining 1/4 cup honey and 1/4 cup water in a small sauce pan. Place over medium low heat to dissolve the honey into the water. Once dissolved, remove from heat and place in small bowl for dipping the triangles.
  • Remove baked triangles from oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before serving.
