A classic dish from Michael Symon!
ingredients
TIROPITA
16 ounces whole milk ricotta
8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
3/4 cup parmesan (freshly grated)
3/4 cup Greek feta (crumbled)
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh dill (finely chopped)
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 package phyllo dough (thawed)
1 stick unsalted butter (melted)
directions
Preheat the oven to 375ยบ F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium bowl, add the ricotta, cream cheese, parmesan, feta, olive oil, dill, salt and pepper and stir until fully combined. Set aside.
Roll out your sheets of phyllo dough and with the short end towards you, cut the sheets into 3-inch strips. Working with 1 strip at a time, brush the entire strip with melted butter. Top with another strip of phyllo and brush butter on top of that strip. Place 1 tablespoon of filling in the bottom right corner of the phyllo and then begin to gently roll up like a football, brushing with butter between each roll. Repeat until all the filling is used up. Place the triangles on prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with melted butter. Transfer to oven and bake for 15 minutes or until light golden brown and puffed. Allow to set for 5 minutes before serving.
Tip: Assemble ahead of time and freeze, then bake for a fresh appetizer when ready to eat!
