Ingredients

• 12 sheets Phyllo dough (dairy-free)
• 0.5 cup Olive oil
• 1 cup Almond-based cream cheese (unsweetened)
• 8 ounces Firm tofu
• 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil.

Step 2

Drain the firm tofu and press it to remove excess moisture. Crumble the tofu into a medium bowl.

Step 3

In a blender or food processor, combine the crumbled tofu, almond-based cream cheese, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. This will serve as the dairy-free cheese filling.

Step 4

Lay a sheet of phyllo dough on a clean, dry surface and lightly brush it with olive oil. Add another sheet on top and brush it with olive oil as well. Repeat until you have a stack of six layers.

Step 5

Cut the layered phyllo stack into long strips about 3 inches wide. Place a teaspoon of the filling at the bottom of each strip.

Step 6

Fold the bottom corner of the strip up over the filling to form a triangle. Continue folding the strip over itself, maintaining the triangle shape, until you reach the end. Repeat with the remaining phyllo and filling.

Step 7

Place the tiropita triangles on the prepared baking dish and brush the tops with additional olive oil.

Step 8

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy your homemade dairy-free tiropita!
