If you’re a fan of Greek food, you’re going to love these Cheese Pie Rolls, also known as Tyropita Rolls!

They’re the perfect snack-sized twist on the classic Greek tyropita (cheese pie), with a deliciously creamy filling wrapped in golden, flaky phyllo dough.

These delicious rolls are perfect as appetizers, snacks, or even for a cozy brunch spread.

500g phyllo dough sheets or Homemade phyllo dough

300g feta cheese, crumbled

200gr mizithra cheese, or ricotta (optional for a milder taste)

1 egg

2 tbsp Greek yogurt

2-3 tbsp olive oil, for brushing the phyllo

Freshly ground pepper

A. sprinkle of oregano

Directions

Prepare the Filling:

In a bowl, mix the crumbled feta cheese, ricotta (if using), egg, yogurt, and pepper. Add herbs if desired. Mix well until creamy.

Prepare the Dough:

Lay out a phyllo sheet on a clean surface. Brush lightly with olive oil, and then place another sheet on top to make it thicker (or use single layers if you prefer).

Assemble the Rolls:

Cut each phyllo sheet into two equal strips lengthwise.

Place a tablespoon of the cheese filling near the bottom of each strip. Fold in the sides to enclose the filling, then roll up each strip tightly from the bottom to form a small, secure roll.

Repeat with the remaining filling and phyllo strips.

Bake:

Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, seam-side down.

Brush each roll with a bit more olive oil for a golden finish.

Bake at 180°C (350°F) for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

Enjoy them warm as appetizers or snacks!
