Traditional Greek Tiropetes (Cheese Phyllo Pie) image

The buttery and flakey phyllo is a great compliment to the cheese filling. Use more ricotta if feta is too bold of a taste. This is the way my mom makes it. Recipe taken from "The Complete Book of Greek Cooking, The Recipe Club of St. Pauls Greek Cathedral".

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my Tiropetes were a disaster. They were too greasy and the cheese filling was runny.
