1
Mix the cheeses
In a large mixing bowl, crumble the feta cheese and ricotta cheese together until well combined.
2
Add eggs
Crack the eggs into the bowl and mix until smooth and creamy.
3
Season the mixture
Add chopped fresh parsley (if using), salt, and black pepper to the cheese mixture. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

4
Preheat oven
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
5
Prepare the phyllo dough
Lay out the phyllo sheets on a clean, dry surface. Cover them with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out.
6
Butter the phyllo sheets
Melt the butter and mix it with olive oil. Brush the melted butter mixture onto one sheet of phyllo dough. Place another sheet on top and brush again. Repeat this process until you have about 5 sheets layered.
7
Add filling
Place a generous amount of the cheese filling along one edge of the layered phyllo sheets.
8
Roll the pastry
Carefully roll the phyllo dough over the filling to create a log shape. Tuck in the edges as you roll to secure the filling inside.
9
Place in a baking dish
Transfer the rolled tiropita to a greased baking dish, seam side down. Brush the top with any remaining butter mixture.
10
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

11
Cool and cut
Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes. Cut into squares or triangles.

Enjoy!
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your homemade tiropita!
