Ingredients

• 12 sheets phyllo dough sheets
• 100 grams unsalted butter
• 200 grams feta cheese
• 100 grams ricotta cheese
• 50 grams grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave, then set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the feta cheese, ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, eggs, parsley, ground black pepper, and salt. Use a fork to thoroughly mix the filling until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Unroll the phyllo dough sheets and keep them covered with a damp kitchen towel to prevent them from drying out.

Step 5

Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean work surface and brush lightly with melted butter using a pastry brush. Place another sheet on top and brush it with butter as well. Repeat until you have a stack of 3 sheets.

Step 6

Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the stacked phyllo sheets into long strips approximately 7-8 cm (3 inches) wide.

Step 7

Place a heaping teaspoon of the cheese filling near the bottom corner of one strip. Fold the bottom corner up and over the filling to form a triangular shape. Continue folding the pastry strip over itself, maintaining the triangle shape, until you reach the end.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining phyllo sheets and filling to form all the triangles.

Step 9

Arrange the folded triangles on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small space between each one. Brush the tops with a little more melted butter to ensure a golden, flaky finish.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tyropites are golden brown and crisp.

Step 11

Allow the pastries to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
