Ingredients

• 6 sheets Phyllo dough sheets
• 200 grams Low-fat feta cheese
• 150 grams Cottage cheese (low-fat)
• 100 grams Greek yogurt (plain, non-fat)
• 3 large Eggs
• 2 large Egg whites
• 30 grams Whey protein powder (unflavored)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the low-fat feta cheese, cottage cheese, and Greek yogurt. Use a fork to mash everything together until smooth.

Step 3

Add the eggs, egg whites, and unflavored whey protein powder to the cheese mixture. Mix until evenly combined.

Step 4

Stir in the chopped fresh dill, ground black pepper, and salt. Adjust seasonings to taste.

Step 5

Brush the bottom and sides of the baking dish with a small amount of olive oil. Lay one sheet of phyllo dough in the dish and lightly brush it with olive oil. Repeat with three more sheets, brushing each one lightly with olive oil and layering them to create a sturdy base.

Step 6

Spread the cheese and protein mixture evenly over the prepared phyllo base using a spatula to smooth it out.

Step 7

Cover the filling with the remaining two sheets of phyllo dough, brushing each layer with olive oil. Make sure to tuck in the edges neatly.

Step 8

Use a sharp knife to cut the assembled tiropita into portions (squares or triangles) before baking. This will make it easier to serve later.

Step 9

Bake the tiropita in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crisp.

Step 10

Let the tiropita cool slightly for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
