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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, crumble the feta cheese and mix it with the ricotta cheese.
Step 3
Add the egg, chopped fresh dill, salt, and pepper to the cheese mixture. Stir until well combined to create a smooth filling.
Step 4
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe dish and set aside.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Bake the Tiropitakia in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Allow the Tiropitakia to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature.
