Ingredients 

  • approx. 10-12 filo sheets
  • 250 g 3 cups salty cow cheese (I used a creamier cheese)
  • 5 Tbsp yogurt
  • fresh or dry dill to taste
  • 20 g 1 ½ Tbsp butter or olive oil
  • sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Mash the cow cheese with a fork. Add the yogurt and mix. Add the fresh or dried dill.
  • Preheat the oven to 180C.
  • Add baking paper to a small ceramic tray (30x30cm). Grease the baking paper with a bit of oil, using a brush.
  • Place 3 sheets of filo pastry on the bottom, one on top of the other.
  • Add the cheese and dill mixture and spread it well.
  • Take the outer edges of the pie sheets and bring them over the composition, as if forming a packet.
  • Add another layer of 2-3 filo sheets. Seal the edges so as to cover the cheese composition in the pan on all sides.
  • On top of this, add a few thin slices of butter, or grease the sheets with olive oil.
  • Add another layer of 2-3 filo sheets and proceed as above, making a packet.
  • Using a silicone brush, brush the pie with a bit of olive oil or melted butter. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
  • I also made a bow from a few remaining filo sheets, which I filled with blue cheese.
  • Bake the pie in the oven for approx. 30 minutes, or until it turns golden, at 180C.
