Mom's Spanokopita a.k.a. Cheese Triangles


I am on a roll tonight!! That's what happens when you get stuck at the airport because your flight has been delayed for 3 1/2 hours because, after the weather delay, and the air traffic ground stop, the ramp crew in LaGuardia put the passenger baggage on the wrong plane and they're now having to taxi the plane back to the gate to fix the error. Nice job LaGuardia.

This next dish was, without a doubt, my favorite dish growing up.

Spanokopita a.k.a. Cheese Triangles (with or without spinach)

1 pound feta (I usually use 8 oz)
1 pint cottage cheese about 8 oz.
1/4 cup parmesean cheese
4oz. cream cheese or half a pkg.
4 eggs
2 tbs cream of wheat or farina to thicken (optional, but I do it)

salt and pepper to taste (just a little as the cheeses are salty)

For spinach, use 10 oz pkg of frozen spinch extremely well drained and squished
10 green onions chopped finely (I don't add these because I don't like onions, but if you like onions, go nuts)

1 stick of butter or margarine, melted (I do this a little at a time as needed)
1 pkg phyllo dough

Cut filo in strips about 3" wide and fold like a flag (hence, cheese *triangles*) put on baking sheet and bake at 350 until golden about 20 minutes.

The best!
