[Sca-cooks] OOP fillings for phyllo purses?

[Sue Clemenger]

You could do some sort of sweet version of tiropitas....keep the
(ricotta) cheese filling, but use sweet spices, and maybe some sort of
nut (walnuts? pinenuts? pistachios?) or fruit--currants, or bits of
orange zest, or something.  Or a filling based on cream cheese, which
might be less apt to de-crisp the filo.  Or some sort of very-rich
custardy something.  Or....
Okay, I'm stopping now.  I'm making myself *really* hungry.  'Nite.
--Maire (who's helplessly imagining little filo "horns" filled with
Gunthar's espresso/chocolate creme brulee, without the brulee part, but
*definitely* with the raspberries)
