Tiropitta (Cheese Pie)

1 package of phyllo sheets
10 oz domestic feta (crumbled)
4 eggs
4 teaspoons cottage cheese
1/2 cup milk
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Grease baking sheet. Carefully open 3-4 sheets phyllo and carefully lay on the baking sheet, covering the entire inside, with some ends hanging out of edges.

Sprinkle a few drops of olive oil onto the phyllo dough. Mix the feta and cottage cheese and spread half the mixture atop the dough. Lay 2-3 more sheets of phyllo dough on top of the cheeses, repeat with a few drops of olive oil and spread with remaining cheese. Cover cheese with 2-3 more phyllo sheets.

Beat eggs with milk and pour mixture over the dough and cheese. Fold in the edges than hang over the sides and layer 2-3 more sheets of phyllo dough on top of the pie. Sprinkle entire pan with a few more sprinkles of olive oil.

Bake 350 degrees, about 45-50 minutes or until the pie is golden brown and pulls from the sides. Cut in squares to serve.

Serves 10-12 people
