These were okay. I thought the filling was a bit too salty.

These tiropites were good, but not great. The pastry was a bit dry and the filling was a bit bland. I think I would have liked them more if I had used a different type of cheese.

I'm not a huge fan of cheese, but I really enjoyed these tiropites. The pastry was light and flaky and the filling was flavorful without being too cheesy. I would definitely make these again.

These were a bit more work than I expected, but they were worth it! The filling is so flavorful and the pastry is flaky and crispy. I will definitely be making these again.
