Ingredients
  

  • 600 grams Haloumi
  • 600 grams Feta Cheese (Greek)
  • 600 grams Ricotta Cheese (I use Anari)
  • 1 bunch Fresh Mint (Approx 100 grams)
  • ½ teaspoon Black Pepper (Ground)
  • 6 eggs
  • 2 Filo Pastry (Packets)
  • 400 grams Butter (Unsalted)

Instructions
 

  • Grate the haloumi and add to a large bowl.
  • Crumble the Feta and Anari to the bowl.
  • Finely chop the mint and add to the bowl.
  • Add in the ground pepper.
  • Whisk 6 eggs and add to the bowl.
  • With your hands, mix everything together until it’s all well combined.
  • Melt the butter and pre-heat the oven to 160° celcius.
  • Cut your fillo roll while it is still in the packet, into 3 even pieces. Take one away and cover the rest with a damp towel so it does not dry out.
  • Unroll the section you took out and grab one sheet.
  • To the sheet, add a thin layer of butter. Then add another sheet over the top.
  • Butter the top of the second sheet and place a tablespoon full of the cheese filling to the top of the fillo.
  • Fold the section with the cheese filling over, to make a triangle. Then fold forward, then into a triangle, forward, triangle, until it’s a complete, filled triangle.
  • Repeat step 12 until all are made and place onto a baking tray*
  • With the left-over butter, brush the tops of the tiropitas.
  • Place in the oven until golden brown (roughly 20 minutes).
  • Once they are ready, enjoy! Just be careful not to burn your tongue!
  • If you are making these to freeze for a later date, at step 13, place into a airtight container, layering with parchment paper in between in layer so you can easily remove them when the time comes.
