Fried Cheese Triangles are a popular appetizer or snack originating from Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines. They consist of crispy, golden-brown pastry filled with melted cheese, often using feta, halloumi, or a blend of cheeses for a rich, tangy flavor. The triangles are typically made with phyllo or samosa wrappers, fried to perfection, and sometimes sprinkled with herbs or served with dips like tzatziki or marinara. While they are undeniably indulgent, Fried Cheese Triangles are a source of calcium and protein from the cheese and can provide quick energy from the carbohydrate-rich pastry. However, they are high in saturated fats and calories due to the frying process and rich cheese filling. To enjoy them more healthfully, consider baking instead of frying or pairing them with a fresh salad to balance the richness. As a treat or part of a balanced meal, they are a flavorful nod to their culinary heritage.
