Tiropita: A Greek-Style Feta Cheese Appetizer
An Americanized Greek-Style cheese filled snack or appetizer.
Ingredients
- 1 package puff pastry sheets (or phyllo dough) 18 oz package
- 4 oz feta cheese (crumbled)
- 4 oz cream cheese (room temperature)
- 4 oz cottage cheese
- 1 egg (slightly beaten)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400˚F (200˚C)
- Mix the cheese and eggs together in a bowl until well-combined.
- Decide what size appetizer you would like and cut the puff pastry into equal sized pieces (use the phyllo as directed on the package). Place a spoonful of filling onto the pastry, and wet the edges.
- Fold the pastry over and seal with the tines of a fork.
- Place onto lined baking sheet and brush with some slightly beaten egg white.
- Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown.
Notes
- This amount of filling will make a generous amount of appetizers, if you want a smaller amount, make half of the recipe.
- If you plan to freeze these, underbake them a little, freeze on a tray, then remove them and place in a freezer bag when frozen.
- To reheat: place on a tray for about two hours to defrost, then heat for about 15 minutes at 375˚F (190˚C) or until piping hot.
