Banitza

Description

Baked cheese pastry

Ingredients

• 10 – 12 sheets filo pastry
• 500 g white cheese
• ½ pack butter (melted)
• 3 – 4 eggs
• 250 ml soda water
• pinch of salt

Directions

1. Oil a medium size deep oven dish, cover bottom with a sheet of filo pastry, sprinkle melted butter, sprinkle crumbled white cheese, and continue layering filo pastry with butter and cheese.
2. Finish with a layer of filo pastry and butter.
3. In a separate dish beat the eggs, add salt, and soda water.
4. Pour slowly over the dish with the banitza and let it soak in.
5. Cook in a preheated oven (180 – 200°C) for about 40 minutes or until the banitza has risen slightly and has nicely browned on top.
6. Leave to cool for about 30 minutes and serve.
7. I like it with Greek yoghurt on the side.
