How to make Chevre (Goat Cheese) and Pistachio Wrapped in Filo Recipe

4 SERVINGS

Ingredients:
3/4 cup Pistachio nuts, chopped to the consistency of cornmeal
1/4 cup Chevre (goat cheese)
2 tablespoons Ricotta cheese
1 teaspoon Thyme, chopped
1 teaspoon Basil, chopped
1/2 teaspoon Tarragon, chopped
1/2 teaspoon Dill, chopped
1 teaspoon Chives, chopped
1 Garlic clove, minced
To taste Salt and white pepper
4 sheets Filo dough
as needed Butter, melted

Method:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Combine the nuts, cheeses, herbs, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper.

Lay out a sheet of filo dough and brush with melted butter. Lay another sheet of filo dough on top of the first sheet. Repeat with other two sheets. Cut each double sheet into four 3-inch (7.6 cm)-wide strips.

Place 1 tablespoon (1/2 ounce, 15 ml) of filling at one end of the strip, then fold the dough over diagonally from one side to the other, all the way down the strip. Continue this procedure with all 8 strips.

Transfer the triangles to a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper. Brush the goat cheese triangles with melted butter and bake until golden brown.
