Jamaican Greens-Stuffed Patties

  1. In a food processor, combine the bell peppers with the chopped scallions, garlic, onion and Scotch bonnet.
  2. Pulse until very finely chopped.
  3. In a large, deep skillet, heat the olive oil until shimmering.
  4. Add the chopped vegetable mixture and a generous pinch each of salt and pepper.
  5. Cook over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and just starting to brown, about 8 minutes.
  6. Stir in one-third of the Swiss chard at a time; cover and cook over moderate heat until the greens are tender and any liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes per batch.
  7. Remove from the heat and stir in the cream cheese until incorporated.
  8. Season the filling with salt and pepper.
  9. Scrape the filling into a bowl and let cool completely, then refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes.
  10. Preheat the oven to 350.
  11. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  12. Lay 1 sheet of the phyllo on a work surface with a long side facing you.
  13. Lightly brush the phyllo with melted butter and lay another sheet on top.
  14. Repeat the brushing and stacking until you have a stack of 5 buttered sheets.
  15. Using a sharp knife, cut the phyllo crosswise into four 4-by-12-inch strips.
  16. Cover the remaining phyllo with a damp towel.
  17. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the filling in a corner of 1 phyllo strip, 1/2 inch from the top; fold the opposite corner over the filling to form a triangle.
  18. Continue folding the triangle down and over itself until you reach the end of the strip.
  19. Transfer the patty to a prepared baking sheet and brush with melted butter.
  20. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 with the remaining phyllo dough and filling.
  21. Brush the patties with the egg wash.
  22. Using a paring knife, make slits 1/2 inch apart across the top of each patty; be careful not to cut through to the filling.
  23. Bake for about 25 minutes, until browned, shifting the pans halfway through baking.
  24. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
