TIROPITA (CHEESE PIE)

Serving size: 6 to 8 servings

Ingredients:
6 - 8 cups milk
1 cup flour
2 sticks (½ pound) butter
2 pounds crumbled feta cheese
5 - 6 eggs
½ pound phyllo pastry

Directions:

1. Beat the eggs thoroughly and mix 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 inch squares. Put the pie into the oven for 45 - 60 minutes until its surface has a nice brown colour. Serve hot.
