Tiropita Strifti - Feta Cheese Pie
Tiropita Strifti is a heavenly Greek cheese pie made with crisp filo pastry and twisted into a beautiful spiral. It is HEAVENLY 🤤 and I can’t believe just how easy it was to make!
Ingredients
250g cream cheese (Philadelphia or alternative)
400g feta , crumbled
2 eggs
3 tbsp course semolina
50g fresh mint, finely chopped
Salt and crushed black pepper
12-15 sheets of phyllo
Melted butter or oil to grease
15-20 minutes to cook | Serves 6
Method
Whisk together the cream cheese and eggs.
Add the crumbled feta, semolina, fresh mint and seasonings, and continue stirring until the mixture is well combined.
Take 2 sheets of phyllo and grease the top sheet with butter or oil. At the bottom of the sheet, place a few tbsp of the cheese mixture and spread out to form a log.
Roll from the bottom of the phyllo until wrapped into a long log. Then create a spiral for the middle of the tiropita.
Repeat this process with the rest of the cheese mixture and phyllo sheets. Continue wrapping around the logs until a big spiral forms.
Brush the top with melted butter or oil and bake for 20-25 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius fan.
