Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

(If you want to make smaller tyropitakia, cut into 6 strips.)
8
One strip at a time, brush with the melted butter and place a small dollop of cheese mix in the middle of the top of the strip.

Place the triangles on a baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown on each side.
