Chèvre-Pepper Sticks

• 1/2 pound crumbled fresh chevre (goat) cheese
• 1/4 cup minced green onions
• 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh-ground pepper
• 4 sheets (each 13 by 18 in.; 2 oz. total) filo dough
• About 2 tablespoons melted butter or margarine

1. In a bowl, mix cheese, onions, and pepper.
2. Stack filo sheets. With a long, sharp knife, cut stack into 6 equal rectangles to make 24 pieces. Cover with plastic wrap to prevent drying.
3. Lay 1 filo piece flat and brush lightly with butter. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons cheese mixture along 1 edge, leaving about 1/2 inch bare at each end. Fold ends of filo over filling, then roll to enclose; if filo doesn't stick together at end of roll, brush edge with a little more butter.
4. Place cheese stick seam side down on a nonstick 12- by 15-inch baking sheet and brush lightly with butter. Repeat step 3 to shape remaining cheese sticks, and lay about 1/2 inch apart on pan.
5. Bake in a 400u0b0 oven until lightly browned, about 12 minutes (9 to 10 minutes in a convection oven). Serve hot or warm.
6. Nutritional analysis per piece.
