Greek Style Cheese Pies (Tyropita)
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup fresh ricotta
- 1 teaspoon dried dill (or 1 tablespoon fresh dill)
- 1 teaspoon dried mint
- 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 egg
- 12 sheets good quality phyllo dough, thawed
- 1 stick of butter melted (Clarified is best)
- Preheat oven to 375 u0b0F. Combine feta, ricotta, dill, mint, white pepper, and egg.
- Working quickly, brush one sheet of phyllo with butter, then top it with another sheet of phyllo and brush that with butter, too.
- Place a few tablespoons of cheese filling on the bottom right corner of phyllo and fold the sheets over widthwise so that the cheese is sandwiched between 2 layers of dough on each side. Brush the phyllo with butter, then fold it up into triangle, working from the bottom up -- it's kind of like folding a flag.
- Repeat until you finish all 6. Brush with a bit more butter, and bake on a sheet pan for 20 minutes, or until golden.
