They are a Greek dish containing several types of cheeses (including feta), wrapped in filo and baked.
Here is the recipe:
1 lb phyllo dough
3 eggs
1/2 lb feta cheese, crumbled
4 ounces ricotta cheese
4 ounces cream cheese
salt and pepper
1/2 lb butter, melted
Beat eggs well. Add ricotta and cream cheese to eggs and beat to a thick creamy consistency. Add salt and pepper and blend well.
Place a sheet of filo dough on work surface. Cut into three strips, lengthwise. Brush top side of each strip with melted butter. Drop a teaspoon of cheese mixture on edge of lower corner of strip, fold over one edge to meet the other, continue to fold side to side (like folding a flag). Brush entire triangle with melted butter and lay seam side down on baking sheet.
Bake at 350 degrees for 15 - 18 minutes, until golden brown. Serve hot.
