Banitza (Bulgarian Phyllo Dough With Feta)
- phyllo (filo) dough - 1 package
- feta cheese - 0.6 lbs (preferably Bulgarian)
- 2 eggs
- plain yogurt - 1 cup
- baking soda - 1 teaspoon
- butter - 4 tbs
- Whisk eggs and add feta cheese broken in crumbs. Whisk mixture. In a separate cup, mix the yogurt and baking soda and keep mixing until it rises, then add to the eggs/feta mixture.
- Heat up the butter in a small pan.
- Filo dough - make sure you're working with the filo dough in room temperature. Once the package is open, you need to work quickly because the sheets dry up really fast.
- Take each sheet and lay it in a greased pan, pour a little bit of the butter and a little of the yogurt mixture. Then add a second sheet and repeat. Continue doing until all of the egg mixture has been used up.
- Cover with a final 2 layers of filo and butter. Cut up in pieces and pour in the remaining butter.
- Bake at 350F for about 25min or until golden.
