🧾 Ingredients

To make a batch of these cheesy delights, you’ll need:

  • 8–10 sheets of phyllo pastry or spring roll wrappers
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, feta, or a mix!)
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese or ricotta (optional, for creaminess)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for sealing the edges)
  • Melted butter or oil, for brushing
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • Herbs or spices (optional: parsley, oregano, paprika, chili flakes)

👩‍🍳 How to Make Crispy Cheese Triangles

1. Prepare the Filling

In a bowl, mix your shredded cheese with cream cheese (if using), a pinch of salt and pepper, and any herbs or spices you like. Popular combos include mozzarella + oregano, cheddar + chili flakes, or feta + parsley.

2. Cut and Fill the Wrappers

If using phyllo pastry, keep the sheets covered with a damp towel as you work to prevent them from drying out. Cut each sheet into long strips (about 3 inches wide).

Place a teaspoon of the cheese filling at the bottom of each strip. Fold one corner over to form a triangle, and continue folding up in a triangular shape — like folding a flag — until the filling is fully enclosed.

Seal the final edge with a little beaten egg or melted butter.

3. Cook to Crispy Perfection

Option 1 – Frying:
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the triangles for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.

Option 2 – Baking:
Brush the triangles with melted butter or oil, place them on a baking sheet, and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway.

Option 3 – Air Frying:
Spray with oil and air fry at 375°F (190°C) for about 8–10 minutes, flipping once for even crispiness.


🍽️ Serving Ideas

  • Serve with sweet chili sauce, marinara, or garlic yogurt dip.
  • Pair with a fresh salad for a light lunch.
  • Add to a mezze platter with olives, hummus, and pita.
  • Perfect for party snacks, game nights, or picnic baskets.

💡 Tips & Variations

  • Cheese blend ideas: Try Swiss and caramelized onions, or feta with sun-dried tomato.
  • Add-ins: Diced jalapeños, sautéed mushrooms, or cooked spinach can elevate the filling.
  • Make ahead: Assemble the triangles and freeze before cooking — fry or bake straight from frozen!
  • Go sweet: Use cream cheese and a spoon of jam for a dessert version.
