Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package phyllo dough (about 16 oz), thawed
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup melted butter or olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sour cream, feta, mozzarella, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Unroll phyllo dough and keep covered with a damp towel to prevent drying.
- Scrunch or loosely ruffle each phyllo sheet and layer in the baking dish until bottom is covered.
- Pour half of the egg mixture over the first layer. Repeat layering with remaining phyllo sheets and pour the rest of the mixture over the top.
- Drizzle melted butter or olive oil evenly over the surface.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes or until golden and crisp on top and set in the center.
- Cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Thaw phyllo in the fridge overnight to prevent cracking.
- Don’t skimp on butter or oil—it ensures crispy layers.
- Use room temperature dairy for smooth custard.
- Reheat leftovers in the oven to keep them crispy.
