Make The Recipe

Place all the ingredients in a large bowl and mix until combined (using your hands is best)
Spread the fillo on a flat and clean surface (vertical to you), and using a large sharp knife cut the sheets into three equal stripes.
Brush each stipe with melted butter and place about 1 tsp of the cheese mix on the top end.
Gently pick up 2 pieces of fillo and fold the fillo on top of the cheese mix to form a triangle from the top down.
Place the triangle on a baking sheet lined with baking paper.
Bake at 350°F/176°C for 15-30 minutes until the pies are golden. (See Note 2)

Notes

(1) You can substitute cottage cheese for ricotta cheese which will give you a creamier texture but it will be less salty.
(2) You can add sesame seeds on top for an extra crunchy, nutty bite.
