A Tiropita (puff pastry filled with feta cheese) is very popular in Greece.
Tiropita (cheese pie)
Print RecipeIngredients
- 21.2 oz (600 gr) feta cheese (crumbled)
- 6.3 oz (¾ cup) (180 gr) melted butter
- 17.6 oz (500 gr) puff pastry (many Mediterranean grocery stores sell Fyllo Kroustas from Greece or Baklava pastry)
- 3 eggs
- 8 fl oz (250 ml) milk
Instructions
- Use butter to grease a baking tray (suggested dimensions: 13×9 inch or 33×23 cm).
- Place a layer of puff pastry in the baking tray, until the bottom becomes entirely covered. If the puff pastry is too large, fold it up. Drizzle with a small quantity of melted butter and add some feta cheese on top.
- Add another layer of puff pastry, with butter and feta cheese on top.
- Repeat the previous step, until all of the cheese and butter is used up.
- Fold the remaining layer of puff pastry, and place it on top. Then, using a knife, cut it in pieces of your preferred size.
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs, add the milk and stir for a short while. Drizzle it over the pita in the baking tray.
- Place in an oven, preheated to 360 ºF (180 ºC) for about 45-60 min, until the puff’s texture turns golden.
