Lucy’s Turnovers

July 6, 2018 by mgrc Leave a Comment

Ultra-flaky cheese or spinach triangles are delicious and fit for easy entertaining. The folding technique is not complicated and the turnovers can be made quickly once it is mastered.

Turnovers can be frozen in single layers on baking sheets and then transferred to airtight container for later baking.

Use clarified butter for best results. Larger triangles can be made for luncheon meals if you wish.

Makes about 5 dozen small turnovers.

Instructions

  1. Thaw phyllo in package in refrigerator overnight. Melt the butter.
  2. Prepare filling of your choice, mixing all ingredients until blended.
  3. Unfold phyllo. Keep covered with wax paper topped lightly with dampened towel while working to prevent drying out. Lightly brush melted butter over 1 sheet. Top with another. Brush again. Cut width-wise into 2-inch strips.
  4. Place about 1/2 tablespoon filling in bottom corner of each strip. Fold corner over to opposite side, covering filling, to form a triangle. Then fold, flag-fashion, lengthwise of the strip, following the natural pattern of triangle. Trim or tuck in last fold of excess dough.

  6. Bake at 350 for 20 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Serve hot.
