feta cheese

🥗Healthier: cottage cheese

💰Cheaper: ricotta

phyllo dough

🥗Healthier: whole wheat phyllo

💰Cheaper: homemade dough

Whole wheat phyllo adds fiber while homemade can reduce costs.

1

Add 3 eggs, cottage cheese, and crumbled feta cheese to a bowl and mix well.

2

Defrost and unwrap 1/2 pound of phyllo dough just before assembling.

3

Cut the phyllo dough into three strips.

4

Take two strips at a time, brush the top with melted butter or olive oil, and add a spoonful of the cheese mixture at the beginning of each strip.

5

Fold the corner of the strip to the side to keep it in a triangle shape while folding up the cheese mixture.

6

Brush the finished triangles one last time with melted butter.

7

Place the triangles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for about 15 to 20 minutes.
