Cheese Phyllo Pie
I have a good friend whose family comes from syria, and they make this almost every week for saturday night supper. It's very comfort-foody.
Steps
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Lightly brush a 10 or 11 inch round baking dish with the butter.
Melt the 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan.
Add the flour and stir until bubbly.
Stir in the milk and simmer , stirring , until thickened.
Add the muenster cheese , yogurt , eggs , salt and pepper and stir over very low heat until smooth.
Line the prepared dish with a sheet of phyllo , folding excess over top.
Brush with butter.
Repeat with the second phyllo sheet.
Spread with about 3 / 4 cup cheese mixture.
Top 2 additional phyllo sheets , brushing with butter.
Repeat layering with remaining cheese mixture and phyllo , ending with phyllo sheets.
Place in the refrigerator for several minutes to firm , then cut into squares.
Bake until golden brown.
Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
