1/2 lb Feta cheese
3/4 lb Small curd cottage cheese
1/4 c Chives or parsley; chopped
2 Eggs
1/2 lb Butter; melted
1 lb Filo dough
Flakey cheese triangles.
Mix everything but the butter and dough together. Cut the dough into
4 or 5 even sets of strips and cover them while you work with wax
paper and a moist dish towel.
Lay out one strip, brush lightly with butter, and repeat with a second
layer. Put a teaspoon of filling at one end, and fold a corner over
the filling. Starting with this initial triangle, fold the dough up
like a flag until you have a little turnover. Repeat for the rest of
the dough and filling, laying them out on a cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 F for 20 minutes until brown.
Warning: When these come out of the oven, the filling remains very
hot for quite a while after the tiropitas themselves are cool enough
to handle. Watch out, if you don't want to see your guests in court
seeking damages for seared palates.
