Collard Green Phyllo Triangles

Left with a single pear and some collard greens, I whipped up some collard green phyllo triangles. I used this recipe, which was pretty easy. The only thing that can be a little challenging is that the phyllo dough can dry out really quickly when you're making the triangles. And you have to plan enough ahead of time to thaw the phyllo dough.

Crispy and ready to eat!

We had these as a tasty little appetizer before dinner. The collards can be a little intense, so you could lighten them up with more pear or use a different green like spinach and change the flavor up a little. The recipe also suggests blending in a little tofu, so I imagine a soft, mild cheese would also work.
