Tiropita or tyropita (τυρóπιτα) is a Greek layered pastry food, made with layers of buttered phyllo and filled with a cheese-egg mixture.[1]
Another variety is the spiral Skopelos Cheese Pie in which long strips of cheese stuffed phyllo are formed into a spiral and deep fried.
Tiropita can also be made in a large pan (ταψί [tap'si]) and cut into individual portions after baking. The individual form is sold in bakeries throughout Greece, where it is a popular breakfast and snack food. Alternatives to tiropita are spanakopita, a pie with spinach, as well as bougatsa.
