Chef's Tips
Keep the phyllo dough covered with a damp towel while you are working to prevent it from drying out.
Don't overfill the triangles, or they may burst during baking.
You can prepare the filling in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
For a richer flavor, use melted butter instead of olive oil to brush the phyllo dough.
