I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my tiropita turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked it.

This was a really good recipe! I made it for my family, and they all loved it. The only thing I would change is to use a different type of cheese. I used feta, but I think it would be even better with a different type of cheese, like mozzarella or ch

The phyllo dough was a bit too thick for my liking. I think I would try using a thinner dough next time.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more herbs or spices in the filling.

This was a great recipe! The only thing I would change is to use a little less salt in the filling. Otherwise, it was perfect.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make, and it always turns out delicious. I usually add a little bit of spinach or chopped greens to the filling for an extra boost of flavor.

This was my first time making tiropita, and it turned out great! The phyllo dough was crispy and flaky, and the filling was cheesy and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a hit at my last dinner party! The flavors were incredible, and the cheese was perfectly melted and gooey. I'll definitely be making this again.
