Step by step

Preparation steps

Check off the steps you've completed; your progress is saved on this device.

Make the wetting mix

Whisk the milk, olive oil and one egg together; it should stay pourable, not thick.

Prepare the cheese

Crumble the white cheese with a fork and mix with parsley; if salty, soak for five minutes first and drain.

Layer

Lay one sheet in the tray and brush with the mixture, then add a second sheet loosely crumpled and brush again.

Spread the filling

Spread the cheese evenly to the edges and cover with the third sheet.

Finish the top

Do not brush the top sheet with the mixture; use egg yolk only, then scatter sesame and nigella seeds.

Bake

Bake at 180°C for 35-40 minutes until golden, and rest for ten minutes before slicing.

Time's up! Enjoy your meal.
