Ingredients
1/2 pound (#4) phyllo, at room temperature
4 oz (112g) butter, melted
sesame seeds for garnish
For the Filling:

4 tablespoons (50g) butter
4 tablespoons (50g) all-purpose flour
2 cups (500ml) milk
salt, to taste
freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
12 oz (350g) feta cheese
1 egg
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 °F, 180 °C. Grease the inside of a 9-inch round pie pan

Make the filling:

Add the butter to a saucepan and melt over medium-heat. Add the flour, whisk together and and cook over medium- heat for 1-2 minutes until toasted.

Add the milk, salt, and pepper, and whisk together. Cook until it comes to a boil and thickens enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.

Remove from the heat.

Place the egg into a bowl and whisk to break it up. Add some of the hot cream mixture to the egg and whisk together. Add the egg mixture back to the pan and crumble the feta cheese into the sauce. Mix together and taste the cream. Adjust the seasoning if needed.

Assemble the pie:

Unwrap the phyllo sheets and unroll them. Take half of the phyllo sheets and roll them back up, wrap in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator up to 4 days for another recipe.

Reserve 4 of the phyllo sheets for the top of the pie and layer the remaining sheets into the prepared pie making sure to drizzle each sheet with the melted butter.

Pour the cheese fillinf into the center and top with the remaining 4 phyllo sheets. Drizzle butter between the layers.

Gather all of the phyllo that is extended outside of the pan and tuck it into the sides. Score the top layers into 8 equal portions. Drizzle the remaining butter over the top and sides of the phyllo.

Sprinkle with sesame seeds and bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for about 45-55 minutes or until golden brown.

Allow the pie to set and cool to room temperature. About an hour or longer. Serve with olives. Kali Orexi!
