My better half is very much a meat and two veg man, and things Garlic bread is positively cosmopolitan... but he has just tried the small triangular filo pastry cheese pies and nearly died of happiness! Does anyone have a recipe I can try please?

I make them with a sheet of filo pastry brushed with melted butter, cut into strips along the length. I put a small piece of feta plus freshly ground black pepper, & sometimes a little oregano, into a corner & keep folding it over till you get a triangle. Repeat lots of times, brush the tops again then bake until golden. Consume large amounts preferably with a glass of your favourite tipple.

You can buy them in Greece ready made & frozen to deep fry. Not seen them here.

Hi morocco mole, here the recipe.Good luck !!!

Cheese pie - (Tyropita) 

10 phyllo leaves
500 gr hard feta (goat cheese)
7 eggs
2 cups of milk
8 level tsp flour
5 level tbsp melted butter to grease the phyllo
salt, pepper



Crumble the feta with your fingers or crush it with a fork in a bowl. Melt the butter in a pot, add the flour, stirring to avoid lumps, and hot milk. Stir well into a thick and smooth cream, add salt and a little pepper, then remove from the heat. Stir it, leave to cool completely and then mix the cream with the cheese crumbs. Add lightly beaten eggs to the cheese mixture. Stir the ingredients well.

Butter a medium sized baking dish and lay more than half of the phyllo leaves (about 7-8) on the bottom of the pan, brushing each separately with butter beforehand. Spread the cheese filling evenly over the phyllo. Fold back the phyllo ends over the filling.

Butter the top and lay the rest of the phyllo over it, buttering each separately beforehand. Cut away any phyllo ends protruding beyond the pan edge. Butter the top phyllo leaf well, then lightly score in strips.

Sprinkle with some water and bake the pie in a moderate oven for 45 minutes. Cut the cheese pie into pieces, while still warm, and serve.

Hello Tina B and Deep Blue - am going to try BOTH recipies today along with some Chicken in Brandy and Peppercorn sauce we also had ( doesn't sound Greek but was on many menus ). Thanks for taking the trouble to reply.

If you cut your filo into strips about 3inchs in width, place a spoonful of mixure in one corner and fold over to make a triangle, keep folding from corner to base to make the triangular shape pie.

I add cottage cheese to the mix as I find the feta here too salty.

Making some this friday (9th Oct) -  cooking a Greek(ish) meal for some friends..

Hi Morocco Mole, I adore cheese pies but somehow they never seem to taste the same here as they do in Corfu even with a recipe from there.  Elaine.

We often add some grated cheese like kefalotiri or regato to the feta mixture for the small pies - it gives a slightly stronger, fruitier flavour. If you are making them in the UK try adding some grated mature cheddar or some other strongly flavoured cheese  such as Parmesan.

Enjoy!
