Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 pound feta cheese crumbled
- 4 ounces small curd cottage cheese
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- kosher salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/2 pound phyllo dough thawed
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter melted (for brushing dough)
Instructions
- 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.
- Lay one sheet of phyllo horizontally on a clean work surface, brush with melted butter, and add another sheet on top. Brush once more.
- Vertically cut the dough into 6 strips.
- 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.
- 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.
