BOUREG'S
The perfect warm, cheesy appetizer for a crisp fall day. I enjoy them most during Thanksgiving cocktail hour!

INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 package of frozen filo dough
  • 1 lb. muenster cheese
  • 1/2 lb. of Farmer (no "s") Cheese -- look near the cream cheese
  • 2-3 eggs
  • Optional: Few pinches of chopped flat italian parsley
  • 1/2 lb. of salted butter
  • pastry brush
PREPARATION
  • Make sure filo dough is defrosted and lay horizontally. Once defrosted, cut in half length wise. *Cover with damp cloth as you do NOT want your filo dough to dry out while you're working... (You can use wax paper inbetween dough and damp cloth as well)
  • Grate muenster cheese
  • In a separate bowl beat the eggs. Stir in grated muenster cheese and farmer cheese (optional parsley). Mix well for your filling.
  • Melt butter in a small ball and go over filo dough, one sheet at a time with pastry brush.
  • Use a tablespoon of dough and place in one corner and fold dough in triangles like you are folding a flag
  • Once a traingle, go over top with pastry brush and place finished ones in freezer (make sure they will not stick to each other.
  • Once first layer is frozen you can add the secon layer on top of wax paper.
COOKING FROM FROZEN:
  • Make sure you have buttered the tops, Cook on 350 degrees for about 30 minutes until they start to brown and crisp.
