    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!

    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

    Add the Grated Cheese, Parsley, Eggs and Pepper.

    3
    Done

    Cut Pastry Sheets in Strips About 2x12 Inches.

    4
    Done

    Stack Them One on Top of the Other to Prevent from Drying.

    5

    Brush a Strip of Phyllo With Melted Butter, Lay Another Strip on Top and Brush That One With Butter Too.

    6
    Done

    Put One Teaspoon of the Filling on the Short End of the Strip, Facing You, and Fold Over One Corner to Make a Triangle.

    7
    Done

    Continue Folding Pastry Strip from Side to Side in the Shape of a Triangle Until the Entire Pastry Strip Covers the Filling. (remember How We Were Taught to Fold a Flag Into a Triangular Shape? Think of That as You Keep Folding the Dough Over. You Should Have a Nice, Neat, Triangular Packet.)

    8
    Done

    Proceed in This Manner With Remaining Pastry Strips and Filling Until All Are Used.

    9
    Done

    You Can Also Make These Ahead, Put on a Baking Sheet and Freeze, Unbaked. When Frozen, Just Keep Them in a Ziploc Bag and You Can Have Tiropitakia at a Moment's Notice. Just Add 5 More Minutes to the Baking Time If You're Using Frozen Ones.
