Cheese pie (Tyropita)

Ingredients:

500 gr (~1 lb) kaseri cheese (it's a semi-soft, not too salty cheese)

3 eggs

1/4 tsp pepper

1/2-1 cup milk

1/2 lb phyllo

2 Tb melted butter and/or olive oil

Preparation:

Beat the eggs and add the pepper and the cheese (grated). Put a layer of phyllo on baking tray. With pastry brush spread butter over it and repeat for 6-7 layers of phyllo. Add cheese mixture and cover the filling with 7-8 more layers of phyllo (continue spreading butter). Score into serving portions and pour milk on top. Let stand for about 1 hour or until milk is absorbed.

Bake at 375F/190C for 50-60 minutes or until golden brown.
