  • 1 pound cottage cheese
  • 1 pound feta cheese, mashed with a fork
  • 4 eggs, lightly beaten
  • Pepper

  • 14 sheets fillo pastry
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted, or 1/2 cup vegetable oil

  5. Paint the top sheet with 1 egg yolk mixed with 1 teaspoon water (do not brush with butter), and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  6. For another filling which is not traditional and does not sound very nice but is actually wonderful, put 1/2 pound edam, 1/2 pound gouda, 1/2 pound cheddar, all cut into pieces in the food processor with 1/2 pound cottage cheese and 4 eggs, and blend to a homogeneous mass.
