Steps:
- For the beginners at working with phyllo, check the handling tips before starting.
- To prepare the tiropitakia, start by preparing the filling. Crush the feta cheese into a large bowl and add the grated cheese, the egg, a splash of milk, the yoghurt and season with freshly ground pepper. Mix well with a spoon to combine the ingredients. (At this point you can add some chopped fresh herbs if you like; some fresh dill or mint will surely lift the flavour).
- Preheat the oven at 180C and start preparing the tiropitakia.
- Spread one sheet of the phyllo dough on the kitchen counter and with a cooking brush drizzle with some melted butter or olive oil. Spread one more sheet on top and drizzle with some more butter.
- Cut the sheets into three or four lanes (depending on if you like the tiropitakia to be small or larger). At the end of each lane add one tablespoon of the filling. Fold one corner to form a triangle and continue folding the triangle upon itself, until the entire piece of phyllo is used. Continue with the rest phyllo sheets and filling.
- Oil the bottom of a large baking tray, place the tiropitakia and brush them with some melted butter on top. Bake in preheated oven at 180C for 25-30 minutes, until golden and crispy.
- Serve this delicious Greek feta cheese triangles as a great starter with some Greek salad aside.

Tips:
- Use high-quality feta cheese. This will ensure that your squares have the best flavor and texture. Look for a feta that is firm and crumbly, with a slightly salty and tangy taste.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the squares tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Be careful not to overcook the squares. They should be cooked until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, but still soft and fluffy on the inside.
- Serve the squares warm or at room temperature. They can be served as an appetizer, main course, or snack.
- Experiment with different flavors. You can add herbs, spices, or vegetables to the batter to create different flavor variations.
Conclusion:
Feta cheese squares are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for any occasion, and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make these delicious treats at home.
