  • Place the third sheet on-top.
  • Using a pizza cutter, cut the sheets into four long sections. Each strip will be one triopita.
  • Dollop the mixture at the bottom of each strip.

  • Grab the bottom of the right corner and fold it up and over towards the left side of the strip. This should create a triangle shape. Then grab the bottom left corner and fold up and over towards the right side of the sheet. Continue in this pattern until you've created a small triangular shaped pie.

  • Place as many as you'd like to cook on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake at 350℉ for 16-20 minutes - depending on your oven and choice of crispiness.
