I guess this is someone's attempt at making a recipe that imitates
oyster rockefellow, but acceptable as a neutral appetizer in a kosher menu. TTTT, I don't think they hit the mark of something good.

I suppose it depends on how badly one wanted to have something approximating the non-kosher item.... ;) And perhaps also on how dead
the palate was.... ;)

I have always looked with suspicion on recipes that attempted to
pretend something that they were not. I'm not speaking of copy-cat
recipes, some of which are decent. But things such as that recipe that
is attempting to make an imitation of something not acceptable to a
group or class of people, and in doing so end up with something that is
neither a good imitation nor a good dish.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05

Title: Tiropetes (Cheese Puffs)
Categories: Appetizers, Greek, Cheese
Yield: 150 Servings

1 lb Phyllo pastry
1 lb Feta cheese
1 lb Cottage or ricotta cheese
5 Eggs
1/2 c Parsley, finely chopped
Butter (1/2-1 lb, as needed)

Crumble feta cheese, add cottage cheese and mix well. Beat eggs well
and add cheese mixture. Stir in parsley.

Melt butter over low heat and keep warm throughout the following
procedure.

Cut phyllo into strips (approx. 4x10 inches) and set aside all but
about 1/5. Cover the phyllo you are not using with plastic or wax
paper and then a damp cloth to prevent it from drying out. Take top
sheet from working stack, set on work surface and brush well with
melted butter. Fold each side in lengthwise to meet in the center and
brush with butter again. Place 1 tsp of the cheese mixture in the
bottom right corner of the strip and fold over into a triangle. With
each fold, be sure that the bottom edge is parallel with the side
edge as you progress. Brush finished puff lightly with butter and
place in a baking sheet with sides. Repeat until all cheese and
phyllo are used. Bake puffs in a 400 deg F oven for about 15-20
minutes, until light brown. Serve warm.

Yup, my inclination is to simply avoid such.... I'd rather the real
thing or probably not at all...
