How to Make Tiropita Greek Cheese Pie
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
- Whisk in flour until smooth.
- Gradually whisk in milk, stirring constantly until smooth and thickened.
- Stir in salt and nutmeg. Simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to a creamy consistency. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- In a large bowl, combine crumbled feta cheese, grated hard cheese, beaten eggs, and parsley. Gently stir in the cooled white sauce until well combined.
- Lightly butter a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Layer half of the filo sheets in the prepared pan, brushing each sheet with melted butter. Allow the pastry to slightly overhang the sides of the pan.
- Pour the cheese filling evenly over the filo pastry.
- Top with the remaining filo sheets, brushing each sheet with melted butter. Tuck the overhanging edges under.
- Brush the top with any remaining melted butter and use a sharp knife to score the top into 3-inch wide strips.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the Tiropita is golden brown and the filling is heated through.
- Let cool slightly before cutting into squares and serving warm.
