This elegant appetizer takes a couple of hours to make, but you can do all the preparation ahead of time. Don’t fold triangles too tightly or the mixture will burst through the phyllo. Assemble and freeze up to two weeks before the party. Don’t thaw the triangles before baking; just add seven minutes to the baking time.
