Leek Stuffed Filo Triangles

Leek Filled Filo Triangles

I have recently acquired a taste for leeks.  I'm always trying to think of different ways of incorporating them into my recipes.  The other night I thought I'd take a classic recipe of my mom's, less the eggs due to my daughter's allergy and less the cheese because I'm all out.  

I was quite pleased with the outcome!  These treats were so quick and easy to make.  By the time I chopped up the onion and leeks and sautéed them, the filo was defrosted and ready for use.

These sure do make for great appetizers!  In fact, I think I'll be making them at my next wine and cheese party.

TIP:  When working with defrosted store boughten filo, put a dampened paper towel over the batch to prevent drying out and breaking as you reach for your next sheet.

Homemade Filo Stuffed with Cheese

These homemade filo triangles filled with cheese are so scrumptious that I don't know if I'll ever be able to enjoy store boughten filo again.

I'm not saying I'll never use store boughten filo.  - This is a staple in my freezer.  The homemade version was just such a special treat.  So flakey with a flavour that is out of this world.  I only wish my aunt owned a bakery - This is a must try for everyone!

Thanks for the lovely experience Aunt Toula!  Your Tiropitakia were delicious!
