Instructions

Preheat the oven at 350 F (180C).
In a bowl mash the cheese, yogurt, sugar and vanilla with a fork. Then add the fruit and mix well.
In another small bowl mix the bread crumbs and cinnamon.
Spread out 1 sheet of phyllo, brush a small amount of olive oil and then sprinkle with the bread crumb mix, place on top a second sheet of phyllo and brush with a small amount of olive oil.
Cut in 3 strips lengthwise.
Place on the top corner of each strip 1 1/2-2 teaspoons of the fruit-cheese mixture.
Start folding in a small triangle. Do the same for the other 2 strips.
Repeat 2 more times with the rest of the phyllo dough sheets until you have a total of 9 turnovers.
You can sprinkle some of the breadcrumbs on top.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden.
