CHEESE PIES / TYROPITA
Ingredients:
1/2 kilo / 1 pound of Féta cheese,
either whole or in pieces
Four tablespoons butter or
margarine
6 eggs (or 3 eggs)
1/2 cup chopped parsley
Pastry called Filo composed of
very thin pastry sheets (can be
found at specialist delis in North
America or Frozen in Europe
3 cups of white bechamel sauce
(optional)
Salt, pepper, nutmeg
This dish can be done in triangle sized chunks. After you butter
the fillo and you put the filling in it, fold it in single triangles
and place them on the oven dish. Crush the Feta to a paste,
add the bechamel sauce, and the eggs, while stiring well. Add
the salt, pepper and nutmeg. Line the baking pan with oil, and
then place about 6-10 sheets of filo, buttering them on each
side. Pour the batter and flatten with a spatula. Then continue
with the rest of the filo sheets (should be about 20-25 in a
package). Trim the edges and with a sharp knife, outline the
serving squares on the top sheet (you dont have to actually
cut them, just press the knife on the top surface to mark them
- they should be about 2 inche squares (5 cm). Bake in a moderate
oven for about 30 minutes, or until the top sheet is dark brown.
Now cut the squares you marked earlier and serve, after letting
it cool a little.
