Layered Phyllo Cheese Pie Draft

A pan bourekas of phyllo layers and a cheese and egg filling, with milk and Parmesan on top. It comes out crisp, golden and puffed, and I serve it a few minutes out of the oven.

How I make it

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking pan.

  2. Whisk all the filling ingredients together in a large bowl.

  3. Lay a phyllo sheet in the pan, whole or trimmed to fit, so it covers the whole bottom.

  4. Pour a few spoonfuls of filling over the sheet and spread it over the whole surface.

  5. Repeat until you have at least 4-5 layers, then top with a phyllo sheet.

  6. Pour the 1/2 cup milk over the top and sprinkle with the Parmesan.

  7. Bake for 45 minutes, until crisp, golden and puffed.

  8. Let cool for 5-10 minutes at room temperature and serve.
