How to Make Bougatsa Cream Pie Greece

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the custard: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the milk, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a simmer (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Prepare the phyllo: Lightly brush each sheet of phyllo with melted butter. Layer 10-12 sheets in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan, letting the edges overhang. Pour the cooled custard over the phyllo.
  4. Fold the overhanging phyllo over the custard. Brush the top with remaining melted butter.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden brown and the custard is set.
  6. Let cool completely before slicing and serving. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
