Cheese Borek

Ingredients

• 1 egg
• ½ bunch fresh parsley
• 2 clove garlic
• ¾ tsp crushed red pepper
• 6 oz Gouda cheese
• 6 oz Emmentaler cheese
• 12 sheet phyllo dough
• 1½ cup unsalted butter

Steps

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, chopped parsley, minced garlic, and crushed red pepper. Stir in the shredded Gouda and Emmentaler cheeses.
2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly butter a large baking sheet.
3. Melt the unsalted butter. Take one sheet of phyllo dough, brush it lightly with melted butter, then cut it lengthwise into 4 strips.
4. Place a rounded teaspoon of the cheese mixture at one end of each strip. Fold the corner of the strip over the filling to form a triangle, then continue folding in triangular fashion along the strip's length.
5. Repeat with the remaining phyllo sheets and filling until all are used.
6. Arrange the stuffed phyllo triangles in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
7. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the borek are lightly browned and crispy. Serve warm.
