If you're looking for a quick and tasty recipe, cheese triangles are the perfect choice! This simple dessert or appetizer, with a crispy dough and creamy cheese filling, will quickly become your favorite. Here's how to prepare them step by step.

### Ingredients:

- 400 g puff pastry (you can use store-bought dough to save time)
- 150-200 g cheese (choose a quality cheese, preferably sheep's milk for a stronger flavor)
- 2 eggs (one for the filling and one for brushing)
- Salt and pepper, to taste (optional)

### Instructions:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by grating the cheese on a coarse grater. This will help to homogenize the filling. In a bowl, mix the cheese with one egg, adding a little salt and pepper if desired. The mixture should be creamy and slightly salty, perfect for adding a savory flavor to your triangles.

2. Thawing the dough: Remove the puff pastry from the freezer and let it thaw for about 20-30 minutes, or until it becomes soft enough to roll out. It is essential that it is not completely thawed to prevent sticking and losing texture.

3. Rolling out the dough: On a clean surface, sprinkle a little flour to prevent sticking. Roll out the puff pastry with a rolling pin until you get a thin sheet, about 3 mm thick. Make sure the shape is rectangular to facilitate cutting the triangles.

4. Cutting the dough: Using a knife or spatula, cut the dough into triangles. The ideal size is about 10 cm wide at the base. This will allow the filling to be well distributed and bake evenly.

5. Filling the triangles: Place a tablespoon of the cheese mixture on each cut triangle. Make sure not to overfill to avoid spilling during baking.

6. Shaping the triangles: Fold each triangle at its base and press the edges lightly to seal them. You can use a fork to create a decorative edge and ensure a good seal.

7. Brushing with egg: Beat the second egg and use a kitchen brush to brush the surface of each triangle. This will help achieve a golden and appetizing color at the end.

8. Baking: Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the triangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20 minutes or until golden and crispy.

9. Serving: Once the triangles are out of the oven, let them cool slightly before serving. They can be enjoyed warm as an appetizer or cold as a snack. Serve them alongside a fresh green salad or a yogurt dip with dill for a delicious contrast.

### Possible variations:

- Add herbs: You can enhance the filling with fresh herbs like dill or parsley for an extra flavor boost.
- Try other cheeses: If you want a stronger variant, you can combine the cheese with feta or goat cheese.
- Vegan options: Use vegan puff pastry and a filling based on tofu mixed with spices for a dairy-free version.

Enjoy this simple and quick recipe for cheese triangles that promises to delight your taste buds and impress any guest!
