  1. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until light and frothy. Then, in a separate bowl, combine crumbled feta cheese, cottage cheese, cream cheese, and salt and black pepper. Gradually mix in the eggs until well blended.
  2. Lay one sheet of phyllo horizontally on a clean work surface, brush with melted butter, and add another sheet on top. Brush once more.
  3. Vertically cut the dough into 6 strips.
  4. Place a spoonful of the cheese mixture at one end of one strip. Fold over to form a triangle, continuing to fold until you reach the end of the sheet. Brush the outside with butter. Repeat until you run out of filling.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F. Arrange the tiropita triangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 13 minutes or until golden and crisp.
