Burekas

Served at Jeanne and Tim’s rehearsal dinner.

Mix ½ pound feta cheese, ½ pound cream cheese, 1 pound small curd cottage cheese, and 2-4 eggs in mixer until well blended. Melt 1/3 – 1/2 pound butter or margarine. Using ½ – 4/5 pound filo (strudel) dough, thawed, lay out whole leaves (2 or 3 at a time) on a greased cookie sheet. Spread with melted butter, then spread thinly with cheese filling. Lay out 3 or 4 more sheets and repeat above with butter and cheese, 6-7 times. Spread top layer with butter. Bake at 325 for 30 minutes.

Watch—when it’s getting brown on top, it’s done.

Use as main dish, side dish, or cut into squares as appetizers. Must be served immediately.
