Place 1 teaspoon cheese mixture at end of one strip. Fold one corner over to opposite side to make a triangle. Continue to fold to end of strip (like folding a flag). Fill and fold remaining strips. Repeat until all phyllo leaves have been used.

Place triangles 1/2 inch apart on baking sheets. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.* Serve hot.

 *These appetizers can be made and baked ahead; cover and refrigerate overnight or freeze. To serve, place triangles on ungreased baking sheets and bake in a preheated 350?oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until heated through.
