Tiropita (Greek Cheese Pies)

One of my absolute favorite foods growing up was my mom’s tiropitas. I don’t know if it was only the buttery flakiness of the fillo dough or the filling or the irresistible combination of both. When I was younger, my mom would make the tiropita (and spanikopita) in a pan like a tart, but more recently she’s been making them in appetizer friendly triangles. The fillo to filling ratio this way is perfect.
