Steps:
- For the beginners at working with phyllo, check the handling tips before starting.
- To prepare the tiropitakia, start by preparing the filling. Crush the feta cheese into a large bowl and add the grated cheese, the egg, a splash of milk, the yoghurt and season with freshly ground pepper. Mix well with a spoon to combine the ingredients. (At this point you can add some chopped fresh herbs if you like; some fresh dill or mint will surely lift the flavour).
- Preheat the oven at 180C and start preparing the tiropitakia.
- Spread one sheet of the phyllo dough on the kitchen counter and with a cooking brush drizzle with some melted butter or olive oil. Spread one more sheet on top and drizzle with some more butter.
- Cut the sheets into three or four lanes (depending on if you like the tiropitakia to be small or larger). At the end of each lane add one tablespoon of the filling. Fold one corner to form a triangle and continue folding the triangle upon itself, until the entire piece of phyllo is used. Continue with the rest phyllo sheets and filling.
- Oil the bottom of a large baking tray, place the tiropitakia and brush them with some melted butter on top. Bake in preheated oven at 180C for 25-30 minutes, until golden and crispy.
- Serve this delicious Greek feta cheese triangles as a great starter with some Greek salad aside.

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring regularly, until it starts to soften, about 5 minutes
- Add the garlic and dill. Cook with the onions, stirring frequently, until caramelized and soft, about 5 more minutes. Set aside and allow to cool.
- Squeeze the defrosted spinach to drain all the water possible. You should end up with around 1 cup of spinach. Transfer to the skillet on top of the onion mixture.
- Add the parsley, green onions, lemon zest, ground pepper, feta cheese to the skillet and stir to distribute mixture evenly.
- Preheat the oven to 375° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- On a clean surface, roll out the phyllo pastry. Cut into 2 ½-3" wide strips lengthwise using a pizza cutter. Cover the pastry with a barely damp towel to prevent it from drying out.
- On a clean surface, layout 1 layer of phyllo pastry and brush it down with a small amount of butter using a pastry brush and very gentle motions.
- Place a second layer of pastry directly on top of the first and brush that with a small amount of butter.
- In one corner of the pastry layers, place 1 heaping tablespoon of filling mixture. Squish it into an approximate triangle that nearly reaches the edges.
- Fold the corner of the pasty with the filling over to reach the nearest opposite edge of the pastry. Then, roll the filling triangle towards the empty end of the pastry. Again, fold the triangle to the nearest opposite side. Repeat these last two steps until you reach the end of the pastry rectangle.
- Place the triangle on the prepared baking sheet and cover with a damp towel. Repeat the assembly with all the pastry sheets and filling. The triangles can be placed fairly close together on the baking sheet, about ½".
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 375° F.
- Saute your chopped onion in a skillet with 2 tbsp of butter for about 10 minutes or until translucent.
- If using fresh spinach, add it to your onions and saute for another 5 minutes or until the leaves are wilted down and water is fully evaporated. Take off heat.
- If using frozen spinach, make sure it is fully thawed. (A microwave can help do this quickly.)*There is a lot of excess water in frozen spinach so make sure to drain it very well. Take a few paper towels or a dish cloth and squeeze out any excess water. You do not want a watery filling!
- Add drained/cooled spinach, ricotta cheese, feta cheese, salt, onions, lemon juice, dill and garlic powder to a medium sized bowl and mix.
- Melt your butter in a saucepan or in a small bowl using your microwave. Scramble your egg in another bowl.
- Pull out your defrosted phyllo dough and lay one sheet down on the table.Make sure to cover your phyllo dough with a slightly damp dishtowel so it does not dry out!
- Carefully brush one sheet of phyllo dough lightly with butter. Add another layer of dough and brush again. You should have two buttered layers.
- Cut your phyllo dough into thirds lengthwise. Add 1½ - 2 tbsp of filling to the bottom of each strip of phyllo dough.
- Begin folding from the bottom up. You will want to maintain a right triangle. Continue folding the triangle upward until you reach the top. (See photos.) You should end up with 24 triangles.Brush your egg wash generously over the top and sides of your triangles and place on a nonstick baking sheet. Repeat until finished. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top if you prefer.°
- Bake in the center of your oven for 12-15 minutes or until your dough turns golden brown.

Steps:
- Microwave 5 oz spinach until wilted, about 1 minute, or put in a skillet, cover with lid and allow to wilt over medium-low heat.
- Take away about 4 tablespoons of beaten egg into a separate bowl. Add the remaining egg to 8 ounces feta, 3 ounces cottage cheese (or homemade farmer's cheese) and mix together until everything is well combined. Now add the spinach and mix again.
- Take about half of your phyllo sheets and cut them into 3 long strips (about 3 inches wide each). Roll up the rest of the phyllo sheets and cover with a towel, to prevent them from drying.
- Drizzle couple teaspoons of butter all over the sheet. Add 1 tablespoon of feta-spinach filling to the end of each strip that's closest to you. Now grab two layers of sheets and start folding like pictured, into a triangle. Try to move fast or the phyllo dough will dry out.
- Place the triangles on a baking sheet and brush each triangle with either butter or the beaten egg. If you brush it with the beaten egg, they will have a sheen to it.
- Try to bake them as soon as you form them, or the wet filling will soften the phyllo and they will break while baking (see last picture in the post). Bake at 350F, for about 20-25 minutes or until golden in color.
- Eat warm or cold with refreshing Cucumber and Yogurt dip (recipe for Tzatziki dip here). Re-crisp leftovers by placing back in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, at 350°F.

Steps:
- In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and saute the onion until tender, but not brown. Set aside to cool.
- In bowl, combine the cottage cheese, spinach, egg, feta and pepper. Stir in the sauteed onions.
- Carefully cut the phyllo sheets in half lengthwise. COVER WITH PLASTIC WRAP, AND THEN COVER WITH A DAMP TOWEL that has been squeezed dry- you have to be very careful about not drying out the phyllo. Working with 1/2 sheets, fold in half lengthwise. Brush lightly with melted butter. Place 1 tablespoon spinach mixture in a corner. Fold up in a triangle to the end (like you're folding a flag). Trim the edges with scissors. Brush the outsides lightly with the remaining butter. Place on a baking sheet and cover with a damp towel.
- Freeze until ready to bake. It's best to freeze these on a baking sheet. Once they're frozen, you can move them to a large zip bag or a freezer-safe container.
- Bake (frozen) at 350 degrees for 25 minutes, or until golden. Serve warm.

Steps:
- Wash the spinach and cook in its own water for 3-4 minutes, then drain throughly and chop finely. Sauté the spring onions in the olive oil until soft, about 4-5 minutes, then stir in the spinach. Cook gently for 5 minutes, then add the herbs. Mix well, season with salt, pepper and nutmeg and set aside to cool. Drain off any excess liquid from the spinach, then mix into the beaten eggs. Finally, fold in the crumbled cheese. Cut the filo sheets in half lengthwise so that they measure 3-1/2 x 12 inches. Bush one sheet with olive oil, then set another one on top. Brush with oil again. Spoon 1 Tbsp of the spinach mixture onto the top corner of the strip. Bring the adjacent corner over the filling and press it onto the opposite side of the strip to make a diagonal fold. Press the edges together to seal. Fold over again and again until you reach the end of the strip, finishing with a tight triangular package. Brush the top with olive oil. Make all the triangles this way, then place on a greased baking sheet. Bake in the oven at 375˚F for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Set on a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm.
