Having traveled to Greece and worked in a Mediterranean Restaurant, I have my favorite Greek Dishes. Tiropitas or Greek Cheese Triangles being on the top of the list. I could eat a dozen of these. They are so easy to make and look so impressive! Perfect for Easter or as an appetizer. Only 4 ingredients are needed for this delectable appetizer!
I have joined up with some fabulous bloggers to share their favorite Greek recipes in honor of the opening of the movie, ” My Big Fat Greek Wedding”. I hope this inspires you to indulge in some delicious Greek Fare!
Sprinkle flour on a large cutting board..Unroll one sheet of defrosted Puff Pastry. Cut into 9 even squares.
Mix Crumbled Feta and beaten egg until combined well.
Place a heaping teaspoon of cheese mixture in the middle of a piece of puff pastry.
Continue this with the next 8 pieces of Puff Pastry.
Carefully fold the square in half to make a triangle, gently seal the edges together. Place on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Place in refrigerator for one hour.
After one hour, remove unbaked Tiropita from the refrigerator, beat an egg, use a brush to coat the Tiropita with beaten egg, sprinkle Poppy Seeds or Sesame Seeds on Tiropita. Bake in oven until golden brown. Serve warm.
