Filo Triangles (Cheese and Vege)

A simple but effective recipe for finger food.
The options for filling these are limitless (pumpkin and feta, spinach and cheese, chicken and mushroom, mince and ?).
I have only used 2 sheets of pastry due to limited amount but you could use up to 4 sheets. Remember to brush with the melted butter. Ideally every sheet needs it but you can get away with every second sheet.
The small triangles don't take long in the oven (not the 20 minutes in the recipe).
Serve with a sauce (I did tomato sauce).
