CHEESE FILLED TRIANGLES

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Slowly cook and stir onion until tender, about 5 minutes. Mix in spinach and salt. Stir in feta cheese, cottage cheese and egg. Cook and stir until thickened, 5 to 10 minutes. Reduce heat to simmer.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Unroll phyllo dough sheets one at a time on a flat surface. Brush with unsalted butter. Cut into strips approximately 5 inches wide. Place 1 tablespoon of the onion, spinach and feta mixture at one end of each dough strip. Fold the end of the strip over the filling so that it forms a triangle. Continue folding the strip in triangles until a small, triangular stuffed pastry remains. Brush with unsalted butter. Repeat with remaining phyllo dough.
• Arrange stuffed triangles on a large baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven 12 to 15 minutes, until golden brown. Serve warm.

BROCCOLI CHEDDAR CRESCENT RING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Add the broccoli, oil, crushed red pepper, garlic and 2/3 cup water to a large skillet and stir until combined. Cover and bring to a boil. Let the broccoli steam until bright green and just crisp tender, about 3 minutes. Remove the lid and let the water continue to boil until it is completely evaporated, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and transfer to a medium bowl. Let cool slightly, about 15 minutes. Stir the cream cheese.
• Coat the back of a baking sheet with cooking spray. Unroll both cans of crescent dough and separate unto 16 triangles. Put a 5-inch ramekin in the center of the prepared baking sheet. Arrange the triangles in a ring around the ramekin so the short sides of the dough are touching the ramekin, overlapping slightly, and the pointed ends are facing outward (it should look like a giant sun).
• Spoon the broccoli mixture over the short ends of the triangles closest to the ramekin. Cover the broccoli with the cheese slices and remove the ramekin. Take hold of the pointed end of one of the triangles and fold it up and over the filling, tucking the tip under the bottom edge of dough to secure (the dough will not cover the filling completely). Repeat with the remaining triangles (there will be some gaps where you can see the broccoli mixture).
• Bake until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 25 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes. Use a spatula to slide the ring off the baking sheet onto a platter. Serve with Ranch dressing for dipping.
