Greek Cheese Pie (Tyropita)

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Greek Cheese Pie (Tyropita).

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and greasing two 9-inch round cake pans to ensure your delicious creation comes out easily.

2. Step 2

   In a mixing bowl, combine crumbled feta cheese and eggs, stirring them together until they form a smooth, well-blended filling that promises to be the star of your dish.

3. Step 3

   Now, let’s work with the phyllo dough! Take a sheet and lay it flat on a clean surface, then brush it generously with olive oil.

4. Step 4

   Place another sheet on top and give it another good brush of oil.

5. Step 5

   Repeat this layering process for a total of four sheets, but remember to leave the top sheet unbrushed.

6. Step 6

   Carefully transfer this stack into one of your prepared cake pans, letting the edges hang over the sides like a cozy blanket.

7. Step 7

   Next, spread half of your creamy feta and egg filling evenly over the phyllo in the pan.

8. Step 8

   Gently fold the overhanging phyllo over the filling, creating lovely natural folds and wrinkles that will add texture and charm.

9. Step 9

   Lay a single sheet of phyllo on top, brush it with oil, and gently press down the sides around the pan to secure everything in place.

10. Step 10

    Now, it’s time to repeat this delightful layering and filling process with the remaining phyllo, oil, and filling to create the second pie in the other cake pan.

11. Step 11

    With both pies ready, place them in your preheated oven and let them bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the tops turn a beautiful deep golden brown, filling your kitchen with an irresistible aroma.

12. Step 12

    Once they’re done, allow the pies to cool slightly before slicing into them.

13. Step 13

    Serve them warm or at room temperature, and watch as everyone gathers around to enjoy this scrumptious treat!.
