Ingredients

  • 1 lb finely shredded monterey jack cheese
  • 2 eggs, slightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped chives
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1 lb phyllo dough, leaves thawed
  • 1/4 cup butter

Method

  • Grate cheese into a bowl, stir in eggs, chives and white pepper until well mixed.
  • Lay one sheet of phyllo on your work space and brush with butter. Lay another sheet on top and brush with butter. Cut the sheets into 3 long strips. (Keep remaining dough covered with wax paper and damp towel to prevent it from drying out.).
  • Place a heaping teaspoon filling at the end of each strip, fold end over end into a triangular shape (flag fold).
  • Place on grease cookie sheet. Puffs can be covered and refrigerated no longer than 24 hours at this point.
  • Heat over to 350 degrees. Brush puffs with melted butter and bake until golden, about 15 minutes.
