Greek Triangle Tyropitakia with Filo

Recently, I made these little Greek cheese pies for an event I was invited to. Golden, crispy filo pastry wrapped around a delicious filling of feta, Gruyère and Emmental. The perfect little bites to share!

Known as tyropitakia with fyllo, these Greek cheese pastries are ideal for parties, aperitifs and buffets. Can be done in the oven or in the airfryer to make them wonderfully crispy with just a little olive oil. Check also my other version of tyropitakia (Kourou) that are also yummy! and can be done in the air fryer too. 

Greek Tyropitakia with Fyllo in the Ninja Crispi Air Fryer

Tyropitakia with Fyllo are a classic Greek cheese meze, and they adapt beautifully to the air fryer. Shaping them as small rectangles instead of triangles allows you to fit more pieces at once — even in a compact air fryer like the Ninja Crispi.

Using one sheet of fyllo per roll keeps them light, crisp, and perfectly suited to air frying.

Greek Chicken Gyros in the Oven

No grill? No problem! This oven-baked chicken gyros recipe gives you all the flavor of classic Greek gyros without needing a rotisserie. I make it often with chicken breasts, a bold marinade, and a clever stacking trick using skewers.

Note: This version uses a slightly richer blend of spices than what you'd usually find in ready-made gyros (which often rely mostly on salt, oregano, and garlic) — but the result is way more flavorful!

Greek Garlic-Potato Puree (Skordalia)

[Updated 20/03/2025]

A creamy, garlicky potato puree, this traditional Greek side dish is rich in olive oil and garlic. It pairs wonderfully with Crispy Greek Cod (Bakaliaros Skordalia) (fried cod with garlic-potato puree), a dish especially enjoyed on Greece's National Day, March 25th.
