| 1. Crumble or mash the feta cheese with a fork. | 2. Add the grated cheese, parsley, eggs and pepper. | 3. Cut pastry sheets in strips about 2x12 inches. | 4. Stack them one on top of the other to prevent From drying. | 5. Brush a strip of phyllo with melted butter, lay another strip on top and brush that one with butter too. | 6. Put one teaspoon of the filling on the short end of the strip, facing you, and fold over one corner to make a triangle. | 7. 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.) | 8. Proceed in this manner with remaining pastry strips and filling until all are used. | 9. 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. | 10. Serve hot. | 11. 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. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
