Spicy Goat Cheese & Butternut Squash Triangles

From http://adventurescooking.blogspot.com/2012/02/spicy-goat-cheese-butternut-squash.html

Ingredients:

1 and 1/4 Cup Butternut Squash Puree
5 Ounces Goat Cheese
3/4 Cup Butter, melted
1/4 Cup Instant Mashed Potato Flakes
(1) 16 Ounce Package Filo Dough, thawed
1 Tablespoon Siracha, or your preferred hot sauce
1 Clove Garlic, minced

Mix together the butternut squash puree, garlic, and mashed potato flakes in a small bowl until well blended. Set aside.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Take one sheet of the filo dough and lay it out on a clean flat surface. Brush it very lightly and quickly with the melted butter, then fold the sheet in half length-wise and brush the exposed surface very lightly with the melted butter. Then fold it in half length-wise again and brush the exposed surface again very lightly with the melted butter. The filo should be very long and narrow like in the pictures later on.

Now take a slightly heaping 1/2 teaspoon of the butternut squash and slightly heaping 1/2 teaspoon of the goat cheese and place them on top of each other at one end of the filo dough. Place a drop of the chili sauce on top and fold the corner of the filo up and over the filling to the opposite side. Continue folding as you would fold a flag, which you can see in the photos below.

Once you get to the last turn, brush the outside of the triangle with melted butter and brush the last fold of the filo dough with the butter to help it stick. Place the triangle on the baking sheet, seam side down. Repeat this process until all of the filo has been used.

Place the tray in the oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the outside of the triangles are golden brown. Allow to cool for 20 minutes before serving, as the filling will still be very hot
