Equipment

  • 1 parchment lined baking sheet
  • 1 Pizza Cutter
  • 1 Large mixing bowl
  • 1 spoon to mix
  • 1 slightly damp cloth

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup parmesean
  • 3/4-1 cup ricotta
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 package phyllo dough
  • salt/pepper to taste
  • 8 tbsp melted butter

Instructions
 

  • Add the 3 cheeses, 2 eggs and salt/pepper into a bowl and mix until well incorporated. Ensure the feta blocks are broken down into small pieces.

  • Lay out 1 sheet of phyllo dough & brush the entire sheet with melted butter.

  • Lay out another sheet on-top of the previous one, brush the entire sheet with melted butter.

  • 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.

Notes

Note: sometimes there might not be enough phyllo sheets to use 3 layers for all of the pies. Just use 2 sheets instead for those - they taste just as good because the butter to phyllo ratio is still the same!
