Tiropita

Tiropita is a delightful Greek cheese pie made with flaky phyllo pastry and a rich filling of feta and ricotta cheeses. This kosher version is perfect for breakfast, offering a satisfying and savory start to your day.

Ingredients

• Phyllo dough - 6 sheets
• Feta cheese - 100 grams, crumbled
• Ricotta cheese - 100 grams
• Egg - 1 large
• Olive oil - 30 ml (2 tablespoons)
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the crumbled feta, ricotta, egg, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix until well combined.
3. Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and brush it lightly with olive oil. Place another sheet on top and brush with olive oil again. Repeat with a third sheet.
4. Spoon the cheese mixture along one edge of the phyllo, leaving about 5 cm from the edge. Fold the sides of the phyllo over the filling and roll it up tightly to form a log shape.
5. Repeat the process with the remaining phyllo sheets and cheese mixture to create a second tiropita.
6. Place the rolled tiropitas on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with olive oil.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
8. Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
