Steps:
- Crumble or mash the feta cheese with a fork.
- Add the grated cheese, parsley, eggs and pepper.
- Cut pastry sheets in strips about 2x12 inches.
- Stack them one on top of the other to prevent From drying.
- Brush a strip of phyllo with melted butter, lay another strip on top and brush that one with butter too.
- Put one teaspoon of the filling on the short end of the strip, facing you, and fold over one corner to make a triangle.
- Continue folding pastry strip from side to side in the shape of a triangle until the entire pastry strip covers the filling. (Remember how we were taught to fold a flag into a triangular shape? Think of that as you keep folding the dough over. You should have a nice, neat, triangular packet.)
- Proceed in this manner with remaining pastry strips and filling until all are used.
- Put"tiropitakia" on a buttered baking sheet, brush generously with melted butter and bake in a moderate oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Serve hot.
- You can also make these ahead, put on a baking sheet and freeze, unbaked. When frozen, just keep them in a ziploc bag and you can have tiropitakia at a moment's notice. Just add 5 more minutes to the baking time if you're using frozen ones.
