Mushroom & Goat Cheese Triangles




List of Ingredients



• 10 dried shiitake mushrooms
  
• 1 cup hot water
  
• 2 T butter
  
• 1 clove garlic, minced
  
• 8 oz fresh mushrooms, finely chopped
  
• 8 oz milk goat cheese, such as Montrachet
  
• 2 T snipped fresh parsley
  
• 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  
• 1/8 tsp salt
  
• 12 sheets frozen phyllo dough, thawed
  
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
  






Instructions



1. Cover dried mushrooms with the hot water and let soak about 30 minutes or till pliable. Drain mushrooms. Remove the stems and discard; finely chop caps. Set aside.
   
2. Melt the 2 T butter in large skillet; add garlic and cook over low heat for 1 minute. Add shiitake and fresh mushrooms; cook over medium heat about 10 minutes or till mushrooms are tender and liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat. Stir in goat cheese, parsley, pepper, and salt. Let cool slightly.
   
3. Remove on sheet of phyllo dough, keeping extra dough covered with plastic wrap or damp cloth. Brush the sheet with some of the melted butter. Top with a second sheet; brush with additional butter. Using a pizza cutter, cut dough crosswise into six 2 1/2" strips. Place about 1 tsp mushroom filling at the top of each strip. Fold the top down over the filling, making a triangle; continue to fold as if folding a flag. Do not wrap too tightly; filling expands when baked. Repeat with remaining phyllo strips and filling.
   
4. Place triangles on a baking sheet. Bake in a 350 degrees oven about 25 minutes or till lightly browned.
   






Final Comments


Make-Ahead Tip: Up to 1 month ahead, prepare triangles. Place unbaked triangles in a single layer on baking sheets and freeze till firm. Put triangles in a freezer bag and store in freezer.
At serving time, place frozen triangles in a single layer on a baking sheet. Do not thaw before baking or pastries will be soggy. Bake in a 350 degree oven about 35 minutes or till hot and lightly browned. Serve immediately.
