Ingredients

• 10 sheets phyllo pastry sheets
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 large leeks (white and light green parts only)
• 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil)
• 5 ounces goat cheese
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 teaspoons water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Slice the leeks lengthwise, rinse thoroughly to remove dirt, and then thinly slice into half-moons.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the leeks and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes, or until softened and golden brown. Remove from heat and let cool.

Step 4

Drain the sun-dried tomatoes from their oil and chop them finely.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, combine the caramelized leeks, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, goat cheese, thyme leaves, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 6

Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

Step 7

Lay one sheet of phyllo pastry on a clean work surface, keeping the rest of the phyllo sheets covered with a damp kitchen towel to prevent drying out.

Step 8

Brush the phyllo sheet lightly with the butter-oil mixture. Place a second sheet of phyllo on top and brush it with the butter-oil mixture as well.

Step 9

Cut the stacked phyllo sheets into 3-inch-wide strips using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.

Step 10

Place 1 tablespoon of the filling at the bottom of one strip. Fold the corner of the strip over the filling to form a triangle. Continue folding the strip, maintaining the triangle shape, until you reach the end of the strip. Repeat with the remaining strips and filling.

Step 11

Place the triangles seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with the butter-oil mixture.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden and crisp.

Step 13

Allow the triangles to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these warm or at room temperature!
