How to Make Burek Or Feta Cheese Phyllo Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, crumble the feta cheese. Add the eggs, olive oil, and milk. Stir until well combined. Season generously with salt, pepper, and oregano.
  3. Lay out one sheet of phyllo dough in the prepared pan. Brush lightly with melted butter. Repeat with remaining sheets, overlapping slightly, to form 6-8 layers.
  4. Pour the feta cheese mixture evenly over the phyllo layers.
  5. Fold the overhanging edges of the phyllo dough over the filling to create a rustic top.
  6. Brush the top with melted butter for extra crispiness and golden color.
  7. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden brown and the filling is heated through.
  8. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm!
