Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound Feta cheese
  • 1 cup Kefalotiri cheese
  • Parmesan cheese
  • Parsley, chopped
  • 2 eggs
  • pepper
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 pounds pastry sheets

Directions

  1. Crumble or mash the feta cheese with a fork. Add the grated cheese, parsley, eggs and pepper.
  2. Cut pastry sheets in strips about 2 by 12 inches. Stack them one on top of the other to prevent from drying. Brush each strip with melted butter, put one teaspoon of the filling on one end of a strip and fold over one corner to make a triangle.
  3. Continue folding pastry strip from side to side in the shape of a triangle until the entire pastry strip covers the filling. Proceed in this manner with pastry strips and filling until all are used.
  4. Put tiropatakia on a buttered baking sheet, brush with melted butter and bake in a moderate oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve hot.
