How to make it
7 steps. Take it one step at a time.
Preheat your oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with a bit of the melted butter.
In a large mixing bowl, crumble the feta cheese
In a large mixing bowl, crumble the feta cheese. Add the beaten eggs, Greek yogurt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Stir until well combined but still slightly chunky.
Lay one sheet of phyllo dough
Lay one sheet of phyllo dough in the prepared pan, allowing the edges to hang over. Brush lightly with melted butter. Repeat this process with half of the phyllo sheets.
Spread the cheese mixture evenly
Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the buttered phyllo layers.
Top with the remaining sheets of phyllo dough, brushing each sheet
Top with the remaining sheets of phyllo dough, brushing each sheet with melted butter as you layer them. Fold any overhanging edges inward.
Using a sharp knife, score the top layers of the phyllo
Using a sharp knife, score the top layers of the phyllo into 8 large squares. This helps the steam escape and makes cutting easier later.
Bake in the preheated oven
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and deep golden brown.

A little kitchen wisdom
Ensure the phyllo dough is completely thawed at room temperature before handling to prevent tearing. For a glossier top, you can brush the final layer with a mix of egg yolk and a splash of milk.
