  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 bunch fresh parsley, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 6 ounces smoked Gouda cheese, shredded
  • 6 ounces Emmentaler cheese, finely shredded

Instructions

Place a rounded teaspoon of the egg mixture at one end of each strip. Fold corner of strip over the filling, forming a triangular fold. Continue folding the length of the strip in triangular folds to form a small stuffed triangle. Repeat with remaining phyllo dough.
