Instructions
Preparing the Phyllo Dough
- Prepare the Phyllo Dough: Take 2 ready-made thin phyllo dough sheets as shown in the video. Cut the dough into strips about 5 inches thick.
- Shape the Dough: Shrink the dough strips as demonstrated in the video. Place a glass bowl or a glass in the center of a 28 cm mold. Arrange the prepared dough around the bowl on the tray.

- Add Oil and Parsley: Add half a small glass of vegetable oil (50 ml) and a quarter bunch of finely chopped parsley to the mixture. Stir to combine.
- Incorporate Cheese: Add 1 bowl of grated feta cheese (150 g) into the mixture. Mix thoroughly to ensure the cheese is evenly distributed.
Assembling and Baking
- Pour the Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce all over the arranged phyllo dough, ensuring it is well-covered.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 190 degrees Celsius (374 degrees Fahrenheit). Bake the dish for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serving Suggestions
