Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 8 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
  • 8 ounces Meunster cheese, shredded
  • 8 ounces Swiss cheese, shredded
  • 8 ounces Mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 16 ounce container small curd cottage cheese
  • ½ cup dried minced onion
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup parsley, finely chopped
  • ½ cup (1 stick) butter, melted
  • 1 package phyllo dough, cut into a square

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375. Line two baking sheets with Silpats or parchment paper.
  • Using your hand, mix together the cheeses, eggs, onion and parsley well in a large bowl.
  • Have the squares of phyllo dough in front of you, the bowl of cheese mixture to the side and the melted butter with brush in easy reach.
  • Using a teaspoon, place a small mound of cheese mixture on the dough in the position noted on the diagram. Fold the bottom third of the dough up over the cheese. Brush that piece with butter. Loosely fold the top third of the dough down over the piece that's just been brushed, then brush it with the melted butter as well.
  • Following the diagram, loosely fold the dough into a triangle, place on the baking sheet and brush the top with more butter. Leave about an inch of space between each boereg.
  • Bake at 375 (the oven needs to be hot enough so the boeregs will puff up) for 15-20 minutes (mine were done after 15 minutes).
  • Remove and eat!
