Tiropitas ( Greek Cheese Triangles) #SundaySupper

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!
