Description

Golden, flaky pastry triangles filled with molten mozzarella and cheddar, coated in a crunchy spiced crumb for the ultimate cheesy indulgence.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 12 pastry sheets (spring roll or phyllo, cut into squares)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 egg (for sealing)
  • 1 cup crushed cornflakes or breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • Oil spray or melted butter (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) or set up a deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix mozzarella, cheddar, chili flakes, and garlic powder.
  3. Place a spoonful of cheese mixture onto each pastry square. Fold into a triangle and seal the edges using beaten egg.
  4. In a shallow bowl, mix crushed cornflakes or breadcrumbs, parmesan, and parsley.
  5. Lightly brush each triangle with oil or butter, then press into the crumb mixture to coat.
  6. Place on a lined baking sheet and bake for 15–20 minutes until golden brown and crisp—or fry for 2–3 minutes until perfectly crunchy.
  7. Serve hot with your favorite dip or marinara sauce.

Notes

  • Can be assembled ahead of time and frozen before baking or frying.
  • Adjust spice level by adding more or less chili flakes.
  • Great as a party appetizer or snack.
