Ingredients:
- 1 package of Phyllo pastry (approximately 375g)
- 500g Feta cheese, crumbled
- 100g Grated Kefalotyri or any hard yellow cheese
- 60ml Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 large eggs
- A pinch of Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- In a large bowl, combine crumbled Feta cheese with the grated Kefalotyri or yellow cheese, eggs, and black pepper. Mix well until you have a thick, homogeneous mixture.
- Unroll the Phyllo pastry on a clean surface. Take one sheet and brush it lightly with some olive oil. Place another sheet on top and repeat until you have layered about 5 sheets.
- Spread a thin layer of the cheese mixture on top of the oiled Phyllo sheets.
- Begin to roll the pastry into a log-shape, making sure the filling stays inside. Repeat these steps until all your cheese mixture or Phyllo sheets are used.
- Place your Tyropita rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush some olive oil on top of each roll and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and flaky.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Tips:
- You may add some fresh herbs, like dill or mint, for a more aromatic twist to your tyropita.
- Always keep your unused Phyllo sheets under a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out.
- Don’t worry if your rolls don’t look perfect, they will still taste great!
