Three-Cheese Phyllo Triangles with Onions and Yogurt
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing pastries
- 2 large onions, finely chopped (about 2 cups)
- 1 1/2 cups (about 12 ounces) fresh Greek myzithra, whole milk ricotta, or farmer's cheese, crumbled
- 3/4 cup (about 3 ounces) Greek feta, crumbled
- 3/4 cup (about 2 ounces) grated Greek kefalotyri cheese or other hard sheep's milk cheese, such as pecorino
- 1/2 cup thick Greek or Mediterranean-style yogurt or drained plain yogurt
- 1/3 cup finely chopped fresh dill
- 2 large eggs
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 pound (about 18 sheets) commercial phyllo, defrosted and at room temperature
- 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 350F, 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.
