Preparation

1. With a fork cream the feta, cottage cheese and cream cheese together until smooth.
2. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until smooth.
3. Mix in the parsley, pepper and nutmeg.
4. Lay out phyllo, one sheet at a time (keep remaining sheets covered with damp cloth) and cut into strips 1 3/4 inches wide. Brush each strip with melted butter. Fold over bottom edge a quarter inch.
5. Place less than a teaspoon of filling on the folded-over end of pastry strip and fold over one corner to make a triangle; continue folding pastry from side to side in shape of a triangle (like folding a flag). Place seam side down on baking sheet. Continue until filling is used up. Brush tops of pastries with melted butter.
6. Bake at 375 degrees for 15 to 18 miutes, until golden brown.
7. Refrigerate, or freeze if desired. To serve, if frozen, place directly from freezer in oven at 350 degrees and bake for about 15 minutes, or until heated through and butter is bubbling. If refrigerated bake for only 10 minutes.

• Make arrangements to bake at party, if you live more than 15 minutes away.
