Feta Cheese Foldovers

For one of classes we had to do a presentation on a countries culture and talk about their food habits and etiquette. We did this so that one day if we are counseling this group of people we can know a little bit about them. My group chose to do Greece and I learned a lot. Just a little trivia: Greece was the birth place of the cookbook and the white hats that chefs wear. Pretty cool huh? So these are the food samples that I made and took for our presentation. They are really good as an appetizer and super easy! My class loved them so much they asked me to bring them to our class party that we had a week later! Hope you like them as much as they did!

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped green onions
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 (17.5 ounce) package frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg yolk, beaten with 1 teaspoon water

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. In a small bowl, blend feta cheese, green onions, and egg. Cut pastry into 12 (3 inch) squares. Place a mounded tablespoon of feta mixture in the center of each square. Moisten edges with water, and fold pastry over filling to form a triangle. Press edges together firmly with a fork to seal. Lightly brush pastries with the egg yolk mixture.
  3. Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown. Serve warm or at room temperature.
