Steps:
- Melt 6 tablespoons butter in small saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in the flour until smooth and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon. Add the salt and nutmeg, stirring occasionally, until mixture is bubbly and thickened, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Mash the feta cheese with a fork in a bowl and stir in the grated kefalotiri, beaten eggs, and parsley. Pour in the hot white sauce and mix well.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Line the buttered baking dish with a sheet of phyllo dough and brush it with melted butter; keep the remaining phyllo sheets covered with plastic wrap while you work. Repeat with half of the phyllo sheets, brushing each sheet with butter, and letting them come up the sides of the baking dish. Pour in the cheese filling.
- Lay the remaining pastry sheets on top of the filling, brushing each with butter. Brush the top of the last sheet with butter and, with a sharp knife, score the top sheets into strips about 3 inches wide from one end of the baking dish to the other.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the pastry is golden brown and crisp, about 45 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes, then cut into squares and serve hot.

TRADITIONAL TIROPITA RECIPE BY TASTY
Tiropita, also known as Greek cheese pie, is one of the most common appetizers you will find on a Greek table. It's beloved for its crunchy, buttery layers of filo, wrapped around a creamy filling of Greek feta and cream cheese. Tiropita is perfect for any occasion, whether you're in need of a quick, impressive appetizer for a dinner party or simply looking to add something new and exciting to your next meal.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Crumble the feta into a medium bowl. Add the cream cheese, eggs, dill, if using, salt, and pepper and mix with a rubber spatula until just combined. The filling will be slightly chunky from the feta.
- Use a pastry brush to lightly grease an 11½ x 9-inch (27 x 22 cm) baking dish with a thin layer of melted butter. Place a sheet of filo dough over the bottom of the pan (the edges will hang over the sides of the pan slightly) and brush with more melted butter. Repeat with 4 more sheets of filo.
- Spread the filling over the filo in an even layer. Fold the edges of the filo over the filling (this will ensure the filling will not spill out during baking.
- Cut the remaining 3 sheets of filo in half crosswise. Stack each half-sheet of filo over the filling, brushing each layer with melted butter. Tuck the sides of the filo around the filling. Brush the top layer of filo with any remaining melted butter.
- Bake the tiropita for 40 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool for 15-20 minutes.
- Cut the tiropita into 9 pieces and serve.
- Enjoy!
