Traditional Greek Tiropetes (Cheese Phyllo Pie) image

The buttery and flakey phyllo is a great compliment to the cheese filling. Use more ricotta if feta is too bold of a taste. This is the way my mom makes it. Recipe taken from "The Complete Book of Greek Cooking, The Recipe Club of St. Pauls Greek Cathedral".

I've never had tiropetes before, but this recipe was amazing! The phyllo pastry was crispy and the cheese was melted and gooey. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a disaster! The phyllo pastry was impossible to work with and the cheese filling was too dry. I ended up throwing the whole thing in the trash.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my tiropetes turned out dry and crumbly. The phyllo pastry was tough and the cheese was not melted. I'm going to try a different recipe next time.

I was really excited to try this recipe, but unfortunately, it didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. The phyllo pastry was too thick and the cheese didn't melt properly. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This is an unbelievably delicious, versatile recipe that will turn up often on my table. The dough was a little tricky to work with, but if I knead it longer, it should be much better!
