Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 sheets Phyllo dough sheets
- 300 grams Feta cheese
- 200 grams Ricotta cheese
- 100 grams Cream cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 50 milliliters Milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or a round pie dish with butter or cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, crumble the feta cheese. Add the ricotta cheese and cream cheese, mixing until smooth and well combined.
Add the eggs, milk, salt, and ground black pepper to the cheese mixture. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are incorporated and the filling is creamy.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Let it cool slightly before using.
Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean, flat surface. Using a pastry brush, lightly coat the sheet with melted butter. Layer another sheet of phyllo on top and brush it with butter as well. Repeat this process until you have a stack of 6 buttered phyllo sheets.
Carefully lay the stack of phyllo sheets into the prepared baking dish, pressing down gently to fit the dish's shape, allowing the edges to overhang slightly.
Pour the cheese filling into the phyllo-lined dish, spreading it evenly.
Prepare another 6 sheets of phyllo following the buttering and layering process. Place the layered phyllo sheets over the top of the cheese filling and tuck in or trim any overhanging edges.
Using a sharp knife, lightly score the top layer of phyllo into the desired serving portions (squares or triangles), being careful not to cut all the way through the filling.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden brown and crisp.
Remove the tiropetes from the oven and allow them to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Slice along the scored lines and serve warm. Enjoy the flaky, cheesy goodness!
