Tyropitakia - Cheesey Triangles
This is an example dairy-free conversion from a standard dairy recipe.
I haven't actually tried it yet, but think it would work most nicely with smoked tofu and that the egg replacer is not really necessary - just a few teaspoons of oil maybe. Would be nice with sun dried tomatoes in too I reckon.

Method
- in a bowl combine the tofu, cream cheese, herbs and pepper and mix well.
- beat the egg replacer as instructed on the packet, and add to the bowl, mixing it in.
- cut the filo into strips 12 cm wide, covering them to avoid drying.
- take a strip, brush lightly with oil and fold in half lengthwise
- brush top with oil and put a heaped teaspoonfull of the mixture on the end of the strip and fold into a triangle package. Repeat with all strips.
- Place finished triangles on a greased baking tray, brush the tops with a little oil and bake in a moderately hot oven (180-190C, 350-375F) for 30-35 minutes until golden in colour and serve hot.
