--------  ------------  --------------------------------
                        vegetable cooking spray
     3/4           cup  yogurt cheese -- see note
     1/2           cup  crumbled feta cheese
  1              large  egg white -- lightly beaten
     1/4           cup  chopped fresh parsley
  2        tablespoons  grated parmesan cheese -- fresh
  1         tablespoon  fine dry breadcrumbs
                 pinch  cayenne
  8             sheets  filo dough -- thawed
  2        tablespoons  extra virgin olive oil
Position rack in upper third of oven; preheat to 350º.
Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
In a bowl, stir together the yogurt cheese, feta, egg white, parsley, parmesan, 
bread crumbs and cayenne.
Set the stack of filo sheets to one side of the work surface and keep them covered 
with a damp towel. 
Place one sheet with the long edge facing you. Brush lightly with olive oil. Top 
with a second sheet and brush with oil. Cut filo vertically into 6 strips.
Place a heaping teaspoon of cheese filling at the bottom of the first strip. Fold 
one corner over the filling, then continue to fold loosely (as you would a flag) to 
form a triangle. Place triangles on the prepared baking sheet and brush tops with 
olive oil.
With a sharp paring knife, make a small slit in the top of each to allow steam to 
escape. Repeat with remaining sheets and filling. 
(Triangles can be prepared up to this point and frozen. Freeze them in a single 
layer, then place in a plastic bag and store up to two months. Do not thaw 
before baking.) 
Bake the triangles until golden brown, about 25 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes 
before serving warm.
