Tiropites

Tiropites are classic Greek appetizers that are loved by kids and adults alike.  The recipe makes about 75 pieces.

What you need

1 pound feta cheese
12 ounces of cottage cheese
5 eggs
1/2 cup finely chopped parsley or dill
2 sticks of butter
  half margarine can be used
1 pound filo pastry

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Crumble feta cheese into small pieces.  Add cottage cheese and blend well. Add eggs and bear thoroughly. Mix in parsley or dill.

Prepare cheese triangles according to the Secrets of Filo Dough page.  Use 1 teaspoon of filling for each triangle.  Place triangles on ungreased cookie sheets.  Brush tops with melted butter.  Bake triangles for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown.  Let cool about five minutes before serving.

Tiropites can be prepared ahead of time and frozen, unbaked.   When ready to use, preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Bake without prior thawing for 35 minutes, or until golden brown.  Serve warm.  Watch smiles on all the faces.
