My 15 year old made this for the family and it was SO delicious and easy to make! Made this recipe a second time only this time took three (may try 2 next time) Phyllo sheets, individually brush them with butter, lay them on top of each other, cut them in half lengthwise, dabbed spoonful of mixture on one end and folded it up like a triangular (paper) football. Wet the end piece tab so it will stick lay the triangle with tab down. Continued until all Phyllo and mixture are used. Bake. EXCELLENT single servings and BEAUTIFUL too.

I made these for a potluck at work and they were gone in 30 minutes! Instead of making it in the 9X13 dish I folded them into triangles so that everyone would have a chance to try some. These freeze really well also.

I used garlic and herb feta cheese and it added some great flavor. I also used olive oil instead of butter. I will be making this again but next time I will use less egg and more feta cheese. Overall a great recipe, thanks!

This is an excellent recipe. I added thyme, oregano, and nutmeg (didn't have any mint) as one reviewer suggested. I also used low-fat cottage cheese and cooking spray, as another reviewer mentioned. It turned out delicious, and even my fiance who says he hates both cottage cheese and feta loved it! I will certainly be making this one again.

This was just ok. It tasted fine, maybe could have used a bit of spice in the cheese/egg mixture. I probably won't make it again, mostly because my husband and I were both still hungry after having second and third helpings of this.

I grew up and lived in Cyprus and Greece for almost 10 years. The one thing that I missed the most is of course, tyropita. So, I searched high and low for a great recipe that would taste authentic and this is it! However, I made some few additions : - I skipped out on the mint and opted for a mix of herbs instead. A friend got me a bag of salad herbs straight from Crete ( mix of dried mint, thyme and oregano ). I added this to the cheese mixture and it was amazing. - I also added the nutmeg which gave it that authentic Greek cuisine flavour. Other than that, the recipe is perfect and now it's become one of my favourite things to make in the kitchen! I made a whole batch and stored them in the freezer...they were gone within 2 days between my boyfriend and I!

I made these as appetizers. Instead of butter, I sprayed between layers of philo with butter spray. I cut them into squares and pushed them into a mini muffin pan. I scooped the filling into each "cup" and baked them. They were a hit. Except for presentation, I didn't change a thing. These are delicious.

This recipe reminds me of a dish my dad used to make, but he used ricotta and feta cheeses, no cottage cheese. Normally he would fold the phyllo into triangles and fill them with the egg and cheese mixture, but sometimes he would cook it in a pan, like a lasagna.
