Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 3/4 pound Feta cheese, crumbled
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 pound frozen phyllo dough, thawed
  • melted butter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine first three ingredients. Cut sheets of phyllo in four strips lengthwise. Cover with a damp towel to keep from drying out.
  • Working with one strip at a time, brush with melted butter. Fold one end up about 2 inches. Place about one tablespoon of filling on folded end and fold like a flag into the shape of a triangle. Continue with remaining strips of phyllo and filling.
  • At this point, triangles can baked or they be frozen until ready for use. When ready to bake, arrange triangles on baking sheet and bake in 350 degree preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Enjoy!
