Keyword: cheese, feta, filo, Oven baked
Servings: 8 rolls

Ingredients

For The Filling:

  • 350 grams / 12.3 ounces feta cheese crumbled
  • 120 ml milk
  • 1 large egg lightly beaten
  • 4 tablespoons fine semolina

For The Tiropita Rolls:

  • 8 filo pastry sheets defrost in the fridge overnight
  • olive oil

Instructions

For The Filling:

  • Whisk together the egg and milk in a bowl.
  • Mix in the semolina.
  • Stir in the feta cheese and season lightly with salt and ground pepper.

For The Tiropita Rolls:

  • Preheat oven to 180°C / 350°F.
  • Lay flat a filo sheet on a clean and dry working surface.
  • Brush it with olive oil all over (lightly don't overwet the filo).
  • Place another filo sheet on top and brush again with olive oil.
  • Add the filling. On the narrow side of the sheet, place some of the filling in a 2,5-3 cm (1-1¼-inch) thick line, leaving some space on each end.
  • Fold each ending (to secure the filling) and start rolling the sheet upwards to form a long log.
  • Grease a sheet pan or oven tray with olive oil and place the rolls.
  • Brush each roll with olive oil on top.
  • Prick with a toothpick each roll a few times. This will prevent steam from forming inside and the filling from coming out of the rolls.
  • Bake for about 25 minutes or until Tiropita's become deep golden on top.
  • Cool for for 5 to 10 minutes. Then cut each roll into 2-3 long pieces.
  • Serve with a side salad like Horiatiki, Marinated Tomato Salad, or Beetroot Salad (beets and feta pair very well!).
