How to Make Ham And Spinach Triangles

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, gently combine 10 oz (280g) fresh spinach (chopped), 15 oz (425g) ricotta cheese, 4 oz (115g) cooked ham (diced), 1/2 cup (40g) grated Parmesan cheese (or shredded cheddar), 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon (chopped), 2 large egg yolks, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Cover the remaining phyllo sheets with a damp cloth to prevent drying.
  4. Lay one sheet of phyllo on a clean work surface. Brush lightly with melted butter.
  5. Top with a second sheet of phyllo and brush with melted butter.
  6. Using a ruler and sharp knife, cut the pastry crosswise into 3 1/2-inch wide strips.
  7. Place approximately 2 tablespoons of filling about 1 inch from the end of each strip.
  8. Fold one corner of the phyllo over the filling to form a triangle, tucking in the sides as you go.
  9. Continue folding the triangle, working your way down the strip.
  10. Press the edges firmly to seal.
  11. Repeat steps 4-10 with the remaining phyllo and filling.
  12. Place the triangles on lightly greased baking sheets.
  13. Brush the triangles with melted butter.
  14. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
  15. Serve warm and enjoy!
