Ingredients
  • 8 ounce Pork sausage
  • 1/2 pound Mushrooms, diced
  • 1/4 pound Monterey Jack, shredded
  • 1/2 cup Butter, melted
  • 1/3 Oz package frozen phyllo
Directions
  1. 1
    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.
  2. 2
    Remove the sausage mixture from the skillet with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess fat.
  3. 3
    In a large bowl, combine the drained sausage mixture with the shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
  4. 4
    Thaw the phyllo dough according to package instructions, keeping it covered with a damp paper towel to prevent drying.
  5. 5
    Cut the phyllo dough lengthwise into 2-inch wide strips.
  6. 6
    Place one phyllo strip on a clean work surface and brush lightly with melted butter.
  7. 7
    Place about 1 teaspoon of the sausage mixture at one end of the strip.
  8. 8
    Fold one corner of the strip diagonally over the filling so that the short edge meets the long edge, forming a right angle triangle.
  9. 9
    Continue folding over at right angles until you reach the end of the strip, forming a neat triangular package.
  10. 10
    Place the triangle seam-side down in a jelly-roll pan and brush the top with remaining melted butter.
  11. 11
    Repeat the process with the remaining phyllo strips and sausage mixture.
  12. 12
    Preheat the oven to 425&# 194;°F (218ðC).
  13. 13
    Bake the triangles for 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crisp.

Note

If not serving immediately, cover the assembled triangles with foil and refrigerate. Bake from chilled straight from the fridge, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time if necessary.

Keep the phyllo dough covered with a damp towel at all times while working to prevent it from cracking or drying out.

You can substitute the pork sausage with chicken sausage or a vegetarian alternative if desired.
