      Title: Tiropitas (Greek Cheese Pastry)
 Categories: Appetizer, Baked, Greek
      Yield: 50 Pastries
 
    1/2 lb Feta cheese
    3/4 lb Small curd cottage cheese
    1/4 c  Chives or parsley; chopped
      2    Eggs
    1/2 lb Butter; melted
      1 lb Filo dough
   
  Flakey cheese triangles.
  
  Mix everything but the butter and dough together. Cut the dough into
  4 or 5 even sets of strips and cover them while you work with wax
  paper and a moist dish towel.
  
  Lay out one strip, brush lightly with butter, and repeat with a second
  layer. Put a teaspoon of filling at one end, and fold a corner over
  the filling. Starting with this initial triangle, fold the dough up
  like a flag until you have a little turnover. Repeat for the rest of
  the dough and filling, laying them out on a cookie sheet.
  
  Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes until brown.
  
  Warning: When these come out of the oven, the filling remains very
  hot for quite a while after the tiropitas themselves are cool enough
  to handle. Watch out, if you don't want to see your guests in court
  seeking damages for seared palates.
