Directions
Tiropitakia (Miniature Greek Cheese Pies), Small cheese pies to be served as a snack or hors d’ouevre , Tasted great, but definately a labor of love type food! Made it for DH a memory food I told him next time he wanted these he’d have to go to buy them LOL! Thanks!, I made them last night to used up my cottage cheese and phyllo, but then WOW I wasn’t expecting a great recipe such as this My boyfriend who is a cheese lover was so delightful by the crispiness of the phyllo and with the right combination of cheese and the mint, plus the sesame Thanks you so much for sharing this My only question is can I reheat it after a day or two of storing in the fridge? Will it affect the texture of the phyllo?
