Tiropitakia (Greek cheese pies) topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 225 g crumbled feta cheese
- 25 gr. ricotta cheese
- 1/2 tbsp. grated Kasseri cheese
- 110 g of cream cheese
- 225 g melted butter
- Chopped parsley to taste
- Grated nutmeg to taste
- 2 well-beaten eggs
- 1 pack of filo dough
- White pepper to taste
Preparation:
- To prepare the filling Combine all the cheeses with parsley, nutmeg, pepper, and eggs. Mix well and let sit in the refrigerator for an hour. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Remove the filo pastry from the refrigerator and unwrap it. Keep the pastry covered while using it, as it dries out very quickly. Cut the pastry into 4 strips. (If you want to make smaller tiropitakia, cut the pastry into 6 strips.)
- Brush one strip at a time with melted butter and place a small amount of cheese filling in the top center. Fold the dough as if you were folding a flag: fold the right corner to the left to form a right angle, then fold it up.
Continue folding at a right angle until you reach the top edge and form a complete triangle. Place the triangles on a baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes, until golden brown on each side.
