This super easy 5 minute recipe for Grandma’s tiropitakia with flour and feta cheese will become your kids favorite! This is a recipe for tiropitakia I use all the time as they require only ingredients I usually have in hand. They are my number one choice for unexpected guests.

Real life savers! These tiropitakia are actually little balls made with flour (yes no phyllo dough is required!), feta cheese and olive oil.

Tip: The flour should be self rising flour so that they rise when baked and become fluffy. Greek yogurt and eggs give them a really nice moist texture. And of course you can use any herbs you like.

Dried oregano is my favourite. The combination of feta cheese and oregano makes them super fragrant!

Tip: It is best to use half olive oil and half vegetable oil so that they don’t taste heavy. Plus they are cheaper this way. All you have to do to make them is mix all the ingredients together by spoon and hand until you have a smooth dough and form the tiropitakia into balls.

Then bake and ready!! Enjoy!!
