Feta, Ricotta and Spinach filo triangles.


This is the simplest and tastiest version of these small cheese triangles that I have made. The recipe is very flexible and Sweet  or Savory fillings can be used.  The method for preparing the Filo is a breeze.  I can’t understand why I haven’t used the Pizza wheel before to cut the Filo. 
The triangles in the photo look a bit flaky.  This is because I reheated them in the Air Fryer.
THESE  ARE BAKED FOR 25  MINUTES

Ingredients. 
300 g Feta cheese
300 g Ricotta cheese
3 small eggs or 2 large ones
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg.
2 teaspoons dried Oregano.
Black pepper
Olive oil for brushing
1 packet of frozen Spinach or 1 cup of cooked spinach , well drained. 
1 packet of either frozen or chilled Filo pastry. 

Method for filling
If Filo is frozen, leave on kitchen bench to thaw thoroughly. 
Into Thermomix bucket place remaining ingredients EXCEPT olive oil and Spinach. 
Mix until creamy, speed 4 / 30 seconds. 
Chop frozen Spinach or cooked and place in seize and push water out.   Put on chopping board and chop again. 
Scrape into Thermomix bowl and mix through. 2 seconds/ speed 5. 
THIS CAN BE PREPARED THE DAY BEFORE REQUIRED.
