| CATEGORY | CUISINE | TAG | YIELD | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dairy, Eggs | Greek | Appetizer, Baked, Greek | 20 | Servings |
INGREDIENTS
| 1/2 | lb | Feta cheese |
| 3/4 | lb | Small curd cottage cheese |
| 1/4 | c | Chopped chives or parsley |
| 2 | Eggs | |
| 1/2 | lb | Butter, melted |
| 1 | lb | Filo dough |
INSTRUCTIONS
Mix everything but the butter and dough together. Cut the dough into 4 or 5 even sets of strips and cover them while you work with wax paper and a moist dish towel. Lay out one strip, brush lightly with butter, and repeat with a second layer. Put a teaspoon of filling at one end, and fold a corner over the filling. Starting with this initial triangle, fold the dough up like a flag until you have a little turnover. Repeat for the rest of the dough and filling, laying them out on a cookie sheet. Bake at 350ø for 20 minutes until brown. WARNING: when these come out of the oven, the filling remains very hot for quite a while after the tiropitas themselves are cool enough to handle. Watch out, if you don't want to see your guests in court seeking damages for seared palates. Yields: 50 to 60 NOTES : Flaky cheese triangles.
