Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Preheat oven

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

2
Clean and slice leeks

Cut off the dark green tops and root ends of the leeks. Slice the leeks in half lengthwise and rinse well under running water to remove any dirt. Thinly slice the leeks.

3
Sauté leeks

In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and sauté for 8-10 minutes or until softened and lightly caramelized.

4
Crumble feta cheese

Crumble the feta cheese into small pieces.

5
Chop dill

Finely chop the fresh dill.

6
Mix filling

In a bowl, mix the sautéed leeks, crumbled feta cheese, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper.

7
Beat eggs

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.

8
Melt butter

Melt the remaining butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl.

9
Cut filo sheets

Unroll the filo pastry and cut it into 3-inch wide strips.

10
Fill and fold triangles

Place a spoonful of the leek and feta mixture at one end of a filo strip. Fold the corner of the filo over the filling to form a triangle. Continue folding the triangle along the strip until you reach the end. Brush the end with beaten egg to seal. Repeat with the remaining filo strips and filling.

11
Brush with butter

Place the filled filo triangles on a baking sheet and brush them with melted butter.

12
Bake

Bake the filo triangles for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

13
Serve

Remove the filo triangles from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving.
