Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 sheets phyllo dough
- 200 grams feta cheese
- 100 grams ricotta cheese
- 1 large egg
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, crumble the feta cheese and mix it with the ricotta cheese.
Add the egg, chopped fresh dill, salt, and pepper to the cheese mixture. Stir until well combined to create a smooth filling.
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe dish and set aside.
Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean work surface and brush it lightly with melted butter. Fold the sheet in half lengthwise to create a long strip.
Place a teaspoon of the cheese filling near one end of the phyllo strip. Fold the corner of the phyllo over the filling to form a triangular shape, then continue folding the strip in a triangle pattern until you reach the other end.
Brush the outside of the triangle with more melted butter and place it on the prepared baking tray. Repeat the process with the remaining phyllo sheets and cheese filling.
Bake the Tiropitakia in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Allow the Tiropitakia to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature.
