How to make these goat cheese samosas
Here’s your method cleaned up and tightened so it actually flows properly:
Goat Cheese Filo Triangles
- Mix all the ingredients for the Greek yogurt sauce in a bowl using a spoon or whisk. Set aside.
- Cut the filo pastry into 4 equal strips.
- Brush one strip lightly with oil on one side.
- Place about ½ teaspoon of sauce and a coin-sized piece of goat cheese in the bottom right corner of the strip.
- Fold the bottom right corner diagonally to the left to form a triangle.
- Fold the triangle upward, then over again, continuing to fold until you reach the end of the strip.
- Tuck in any remaining pastry to seal the triangle.
- Repeat with the remaining strips.
- Preheat the oven to 410°F (210°C) for 5 minutes.
- Arrange the triangles on a baking dish lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for about 10 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
- Check for crispness (they should be lightly golden and firm).
- Remove from the oven and serve warm.
For a delightful twist on the classic Indian snack, you are going to want to try these goat cheese samosas.
Filled with a greek yogurt sauce and creamy goat cheese, they are crispy on the outside and tangy inside, and definitely sure to impress.
The smooth goat cheese pairs perfectly with garlic greek yogurt sauce, creating a filling that’s both savory and unique.
Wrapped in delicate pastry, they can be cooked on stove top, but I prefer to bake them in the oven or air fryer.
Whether you’re entertaining guests or simply treating family and friends, these samosas make a wonderful appetizer or snack.
