👨‍🍳 निर्देश

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.

   💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Ensure the pan is evenly greased to prevent sticking.
2. 2

   In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt (if using).

   💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Whisk until well combined and the sugar is dissolved.
3. 3

   Add the crumbled feta cheese and drained cottage cheese to the egg mixture. Stir gently to combine.

4. 4

   Lay one sheet of phyllo dough in the prepared baking pan, letting the edges overhang. Brush lightly with melted butter or oil.

   💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Work with phyllo dough quickly to prevent it from drying out.
5. 5

   Continue layering phyllo sheets, brushing each with butter or oil, until you have used about half of the dough. You can crumple the sheets slightly for a more rustic texture.

6. 6

   Pour half of the cheese filling evenly over the layered phyllo dough.

   💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Spread the filling gently without pressing down too hard.
7. 7

   Layer the remaining phyllo sheets, brushing each with butter or oil. Pour the rest of the cheese filling over the top.

   💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Fold the overhanging edges of the bottom phyllo layers inwards to seal the pastry.
8. 8

   Brush the top layer of phyllo generously with melted butter or oil. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and puffed up.

   ⏱️ 50 minutes

   💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: If the top starts to brown too quickly, loosely tent with aluminum foil.
9. 9

   Let the pastry cool for at least 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to set.
