A double-roll, long cheese fillo pie is a delicious savory pastry often found in Greek and Balkan cuisines, known as tiropita or sirnica. The “double roll” refers to its shape—long, parallel rolls of fillo dough filled with cheese. This creates a rich, hearty pastry with layers of flaky crust and savory filling.Â
Taste and texture
- Crispy and flaky:Â The exterior consists of multiple layers of fillo dough, brushed with oil or butter. When baked, these layers become golden-brown, wonderfully crispy, and delicate.
- Rich and savory: The filling is a blend of cheeses, offering a salty and tangy flavor profile. In Greek versions, the filling often features feta and mizithra cheeses. In Balkan versions, a mix of cheeses, eggs, and yogurt or sour cream is common.
- Mouthwatering contrast:Â The contrast between the crunchy, paper-thin fillo and the soft, molten, and flavorful cheese filling is a key highlight.Â
Culinary uses
- Hearty snack or meal:Â Its generous size makes it a satisfying option for a quick lunch or a hearty snack.
- Appetizer or side dish:Â Serve slices alongside a fresh green salad or other Mediterranean dishes.
- Convenient and quick:Â Many double-roll cheese pies are sold frozen, making them an easy, go-to meal or appetizer that can be baked quickly from the freezer.Â
