Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb. Feta Cheese
  • 1 container Ricotta Cheese or cottage cheese
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 Vidalia Onion chopped
  • 1 bunch fresh Dill (must be fresh)
  • 1/2 Lemon squeezed
  • 1 1/2 tbsp. Vegeta Seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp. white pepper
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 2 tbsp. Cornmeal
  • 1 pkg. Phyllo dough
  • Soda Water
  • 1/2 cup butter melted
  • 1/2 cup oil

Instructions
 

  • Saute Onion on medium low, in 1 tbsp. oil and 1 tbsp. butter. Add a little sugar to sweeten the onion as its sautéing. Once translucent and slightly browned put on a plate and press with a paper towel to discard the extra oil. The onion should be sweet and soft. cool.
    In a bowl, mix feta cheese, ricotta cheese, onion, egg, dill, fresh lemon, white pepper, salt, and cornmeal. 
    Melt butter and then mix the oil and butter together.
    The Prep:It is a good idea to have everything prepared at this point as the phyllo dough is delicate. To prepare have the following ready to go in advance before starting.
    -Place soda water in a bowl (you will only need very little)
    -Have the oil and butter mixture melted and ready 
    -Have a basting brush ready
    -Have a pizza cutter for trimming and sectioning the dough
    -A clean surface or parchment paper down to work off of.
    -Zip loc bags for storage
    -Cooking spray 
    -baking sheet, sprayed with cooking spray
    -paper towel
    To Assemble:
    Step 1: Using your Pizza cutter cut the dough into 5 sections. This will make your first 5 triangles. 
    Step 2: Place one sheet of Phyllo dough down, dip the brush into the oil butter mix, and proceed to "flick or sprinkle the butter/oil mix on the first layer of phyllo. Do not saturate the dough, just sparingly sprinkle the dough with the mix. Use your fingers to flick a little bit of soda water onto the phyllo dough. Add your next sheet of phyllo dough. Repeat, using another sheet of phyllo dough.
    Step 3: Place a spoonful of the cheese mixture, at the bottom of the phyllo strip and then fold over to the left, lift the dough straight up once, then fold to the right, fold straight up, then fold to the left, and continue this process until you get to the top of the phyllo dough strip. You can trim and excess dough to make it clean looking.Place the triangle on the baking sheet and then brush the top with butter/oil mix. Complete this process until you have completed 1 baking sheet.
    Open the Zip Loc bag and spray the inside of the bag with cooking spray. Carefully lay the triangles inside the bag. Do not overlap any of the triangles. Try not to have them touch. They must freeze flat. 
    Continue this whole process until you are out of the cheese mixture, or dough.
    To Bake:Preheat Oven is 350 degrees. Place the triangles on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the triangles are nicely golden brown. Serve as an appetizer or a meal accompanied with a salad! You could also serve with a little sour cream and green onion mixed together as a dip.
