How to Make Gibanica Gib A Neetza

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).
  2. In a large bowl, beat 4 large eggs until light and foamy.
  3. Gradually whisk in 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour and ½ teaspoon salt until a smooth batter forms.
  4. Gently stir in 1 cup sour cream until well combined.
  5. Add 2 cups crumbled feta cheese (and optionally 4 ounces of farmer's cheese) to the batter and fold gently until just incorporated.
  6. Grease a 13x9x2 inch baking pan.
  7. Place 2 sheets of phyllo pastry in the prepared pan, letting the edges overhang slightly.
  8. Drizzle 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter evenly over the phyllo.
  9. Spread approximately ⅓ of the cheese mixture evenly over the buttered phyllo.
  10. Repeat layers 7-9 four more times, using remaining phyllo sheets and cheese mixture. End with two phyllo sheets on top.
  11. Pour remaining melted butter over the top layer of phyllo.
  12. Bake uncovered for 60-70 minutes, or until the gibanica is golden brown and puffed. It will deflate slightly as it cools.
  13. Let cool slightly before cutting into squares and serving warm.
