Tyropita

About

Tyropita, also known as Tiropita, is a traditional Greek pastry renowned for its flaky, crispy phyllo layers filled with a rich and creamy cheese mixture. The filling typically features feta cheese, often combined with other cheeses like ricotta or cream cheese, and is sometimes enhanced with herbs such as mint or dill. This pastry is a staple in Greek cuisine, enjoyed at any time of day, including breakfast, and is frequently served as a snack or light meal. Tyropita can be prepared in various forms, from individual triangular pastries to larger pies. The phyllo dough is layered and brushed with butter or olive oil to achieve its signature golden crispiness. The combination of tangy feta and crunchy phyllo makes Tyropita a delightful treat. It is often served warm or at room temperature, sometimes topped with sesame seeds or drizzled with honey for added flavor and texture.
