Grate the haloumi and add to a large bowl.

Crumble the Feta and Anari to the bowl.

Finely chop the mint and add to the bowl.

Add in the ground pepper.

Whisk 6 eggs and add to the bowl.

With your hands, mix everything together until it’s all well combined.

Melt the butter and pre-heat the oven to 160° Celsius.

Cut your fillo roll while it is still in the packet, into 3 even pieces. Take one away and cover the rest with a damp towel so it does not dry out.

Unroll the section you took out and grab one sheet.

To the sheet, add a thin layer of butter. Then add another sheet over the top.

Butter the top of the second sheet and place a tablespoon full of the cheese filling to the top of the fillo.

Fold the section with the cheese filling over, to make a triangle. Then fold forward, then into a triangle, forward, triangle, until it’s a complete, filled triangle.

Repeat step 12 until all are made and place onto a baking tray.

With the left-over butter, brush the tops of the tiropitas.

Place in the oven until golden brown (roughly 20 minutes).

Once they are ready, enjoy! Just be careful not to burn your tongue!

If you are making these to freeze for a later date, at step 13, place into an airtight container, layering with parchment paper in between in layer so you can easily remove them when the time comes.
