Tiropetas
These are pastries. Bake them right at your party so they come out hot.
½ pound feta cheese
1 pint large curd cottage cheese
12 ounces cream cheese
3 large eggs
3 tbs. parsley, minced
½ tsp. white pepper
1/8 tsp. nutmeg
¾ pound phyllo pastry dough
1 cup butter, melted
• Using a fork, cream the feta, cottage cheese and cram cheese together until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until smooth.
• Mix into the parsley, pepper and nutmeg.
• Lay out the phyllo, one sheet at a time (keep the unused sheets covered with a damp, not a wet paper towel.
• And cut into strips 1 ¾ inches wide.
• Brush each strip with melted butter.
• Fold over the bottom edges quarter of an inch.
• Place a teaspoon of filling on the folded over edge of the pastry strip and fold over one corner to make a triangle.
• Continue folding the pastry from side to side in the shape of a triangle as thought you were folding a flag.
• Place it seam side down on the baking sheet.
• Continue until the filling is used up.
• Brush the tops of the pastries with melted butter.
Bake at 375 degrees F. for about 15 minutes.
• Refrigerate or freeze if desired.
• To serve from the frozen state place the triangles directly on a cookie sheet and into an oven at 350 degrees F for about 15 minutes.
• If these are coming from the refrigerator bake them for only 10 minutes.
• They are done when the butter bubbles.
