Cheese Pies - {Tyropitakia}

Recipe Ingredients

1/2 lb	227g / 8oz	Feta - crumbled
1/2 lb	227g / 8oz	Ricotta
1/2 cup	118ml	Grated kasseri
1/4 lb	113g / 4oz	Cream cheese
1/2 lb	227g / 8oz	Butter - melted
		Chopped parsley - to taste
		Grating nutmeg - to taste
2		Eggs - well beaten
1		Commercial phyllo pastry
		Freshly-ground white pepper - to taste

Recipe Instructions

To make the filling, combine the all the cheese together with the parsley, nutmeg, pepper, and eggs. Mix well and set aside for 1 hour, refrigerated.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Pull phyllo dough from the refrigerator and unroll. Make sure to keep the dough covered at all times while using, because it dries out quickly. Cut the phyllo into 4 strips. (If you want to make smaller tyropitakia, cut into 6 strips.)

One strip at a time, brush with the melted butter and place a small dollop of cheese mix in the middle of the top of the strip. Folding the phyllo is like folding a flag, fold the right corner to the left to form a right angle and then upward. Continue folding at right angles until you reach the top and have a triangle.

Place the triangles on a baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown on each side.

This recipe yields 15 to 20 servings, as hors d'oeuvres.
