Description: If you want, you may use other cheeses along with the feta cheese or instead of the feta cheese. A good alternative is Greek kasseri cheese, or kefalograviera for a spicier taste. Just make sure that the final quantity of cheeses is always around two pounds. You may add pepper to cheese mixture for a spicier taste.

Prep time: 20 minutes

Total time: 1 hour 30 minutes

Servings: 6

Difficulty rating: 2

Ingredients:

6-8 cups Milk

1 cup Flour

1/2 pound Butter

2 pounds Crumbled feta cheese

5-6 Eggs

1/2 pound phyllo pastry dough

Special tools/utensils needed:

Fork, saucepan, 12 inch by 16 inch baking dish, knife

Directions:

1. Beat the eggs thoroughly and mix with the crumbled feta cheese.

2. In a pot, simmer the milk and the butter.

3. Add the flour, stirring constantly so that the mixture doesn't crumble.

4. When the mixture has thickened, remove from the heat, and add the crumbled feta cheese and the beaten eggs. Stir the mixture well.

5. Melt the butter for brushing the phyllo. In a 12" x 16" baking dish spread half of the phyllo brushing each layer one by one with the butter.

6. Add the cheese mixture to it. Cover the mixture with the other half of the phyllo, brushing again each layer one by one with the butter.

7. With a knife, score the top of the pie with thin lines that divide it into two-by-two squares.

8. Put the pie into a 350 degree oven for 45-60 minutes until its surface has a nice brown color. 

Serve hot.
