- Place a triangle of Camembert on one end of each phyllo strip.
- Fold one corner of the dough over to cover the cheese and form a triangle.

- Place a warm cheese triangle on top of each pile of greens.
- Drizzle the reduced balsamic vinegar around the greens and garnish with toasted pecans, if desired.
