Fresh Fig and Goat Cheese Phyllo Triangles

By TPMay

Ingredients

• 8 ounces goat cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 20 sheets phyllo dough
• 15 fresh small figs, coarsely chopped
• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Use your fingers to crumble goat cheese into a medium bowl. Add pecans and honey and mix well.
In a medium bowl, combine goat cheese and walnuts, mixing well.
Stack four sheets of phyllo on a cutting board, lightly brushing each sheet with oil. Use a sharp knife to cut stack into six squares. (Keep remaining sheets of phyllo covered with a damp towel.)
Place one tablespoon or so of chopped figs on the center of each square. Top with two to three teaspoons goat cheese mixture. Drizzle with a little vinegar.
Brush the edges of phyllo squares with water and bring opposite corners together to form a triangle, pressing the edges together to seal. Place on a large baking sheet and brush each triangle with olive oil.
Repeat four more times to use remaining phyllo sheets and filling ingredients. You will have 30 triangles.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until phyllo is golden brown. Serve warm.
