Directions
-
Brown the pork sausage and diced mushrooms in a skillet over medium-high heat until the meat is well browned and mushrooms are tender, stirring occasionally.
-
Remove the sausage mixture from the skillet with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess fat.
-
In a large bowl, combine the drained sausage mixture with the shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
-
Thaw the phyllo dough according to package instructions, keeping it covered with a damp paper towel to prevent drying.
-
Cut the phyllo dough lengthwise into 2-inch wide strips.
-
Place one phyllo strip on a clean work surface and brush lightly with melted butter.
-
Place about 1 teaspoon of the sausage mixture at one end of the strip.
-
Fold one corner of the strip diagonally over the filling so that the short edge meets the long edge, forming a right angle triangle.
-
Continue folding over at right angles until you reach the end of the strip, forming a neat triangular package.
-
Place the triangle seam-side down in a jelly-roll pan and brush the top with remaining melted butter.
-
Repeat the process with the remaining phyllo strips and sausage mixture.
-
Preheat the oven to 425&# 194;°F (218ðC).
-
Bake the triangles for 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crisp.
