1 cup grated kefalotiri (Cheese -- or Parmesan)
4 eggs
1/4 cup chopped parsley
3/4 lb phyllo dough (pastry sheets)

This was a fun recipe to make! The Tiropita was delicious, and it was a great way to use up some leftover phyllo dough.

I'm not a big fan of Tiropita, but I thought this recipe was pretty good. The phyllo dough was flaky and the cheese filling was flavorful.

This recipe is amazing! I've made it several times now, and it always turns out perfectly. I love the crispy phyllo dough and the creamy cheese filling.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my Tiropita didn't turn out as good as I hoped. The phyllo dough was soggy and the cheese filling was bland.

The Tiropita was good, but I found the phyllo dough to be a little too dry. I think I'll try brushing it with butter next time.

Yum! This was a delicious and easy recipe. I used feta cheese instead of mizithra, and it was still great.

This was amazing! I've never made Tiropita before, so I was nervous, but it turned out beautifully. The phyllo dough was crispy and flaky, and the cheese filling was creamy and flavorful. My family loved it!
