Tyropites

Directions

In a bowl combine the cheeses, eggs, flour, salt (unless the feta is very salty) nutmeg, and 3 tablespoons butter.

Cover the bowl and chill several hours or overnight, removing from the refrigerator an hour before using.

Cut the filo into thirds (3 x 11 inches).

Pile up the filo, covering it with waxed paper and a damp towel.

Take out one sheet at a time and keep the rest covered.

Butter the filo, one sheet at a time, using a pastry brush and the 1 cup melted butter.

Place 1 teaspoon of the filling 1 inch from the end nearest you.

Fold the filo back over the filling so the bottom edge meets the left edge, forming a right angle.

Continue folding back at right angles to make the triangular shape.

Bake in a moderate oven (350℉/180℃) for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden and crisp, turning once.

Serve hot.
