Directions
Tiropitakia (Little Cheese Pies), These can be made ahead and frozen for a quick snack when unexpected company shows up Just tack on a few minutes to the baking time to compensate for their being frozen , I thought these were really good and easy to make I did use parsley and mint I thought the mint was a great addition!! used feta and ricotta cheese The only thing I didn’t like, was since the pan was buttered, when they came out, I needed to rest them on a paper towel to blot up all the extra butter Otherwise, I felt like it was doing a slip and slide of my lips! I did freeze half so I am excited to see how they turn out!, These were one of the appetizers I made for my daughters wedding, I wanted to be able to make everything ahead of time and freeze them, so this recipe fit the bill They are pretty easy and they were a big hit I also made them for a baby shower I recently hosted, luckily I had the forthought to print the recipe and bring it along, because I just knew I would be asked for it! I made an extra batch to keep in my freezer just in case!!! Thanks Evelyn, I can count on you for great recipes
