Ingredients
- 8 ounce cream cheese, room temperature
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 eggs, divided yolks/whites
- 1/2 to 1 stick butter
- 6 ounce jam (any flavor)
- 1 package phyllo dough
Directions
- Whip together cream cheese and sugar. Add egg yolks.
- Take a layer of phyllo dough and lay out on a cutting board. Melting 2 tablespoons of butter at a time, used this to brush in between each layer of phyllo dough. Layer two or three layers, buttering between each one. I used three layers for this, but two would have done it, as long as you’re careful – phyllo is delicate!
- Cut phyllo into about 1-inch thick strips – I ended up with four long strips per sheet, but it’ll depend on your phyllo.
- Fill the top of each strip with about a teaspoon of cream cheese filling, and a teaspoon of jam. Then fold the phyllo down (like a flag) until it’s in a final triangle. Place on a cookie sheet and repeat with remaining phyllo strips, then repeat steps 3-5 until filling is gone, or you run out of phyllo.
- Brush all triangles with egg white wash (two egg washes plus a tablespoon water), then stick in the oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
