It was my very first attempt at using phyllo dough. I used a bit of Pam olive oil cooking spray between the layers.<BR/><BR/>My husband liked them plain, because he said he could taste the cheese-y-ness better. Actually, I think he would have liked them with more cheese, and then with cheese melted on top too. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24912646.post-20436031197752668672007-07-17T03:47:00.000-04:002007-07-17T03:47:00.000-04:00I'm definitely with you on the 'pretty food' thing...I'm definitely with you on the 'pretty food' thing.

I figured the yogourt would be a little easier on the waistline, and I could still incorporate a bit of lime too.<BR/><BR/>davimack - I believe the brush is an Ikea special...probably like $2. :) And yeah, I tell it like it is. My baking sheets will not be winning any awards anytime soon (that said, I would love to invest in a nicer sheet that doesn't distort with the heat).
