Ingredients:

Serving

1 tsp salt
1 dash nutmeg
1 lb feta cheese
1 cup grated kefalotiri (cheese -- or parmesan)
4 eggs
1/4 cup chopped parsley
3/4 lb phyllo dough ( pastry sheets)
3/4 cup melted butter

Directions:

Melt butter in small saucepan over low heat; blend in flour until smooth. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly with wire whisk or wooden spoon. Add salt and nutmeg, stirring occasionally, simmer for 5 minutes, or until white sauce is thick. Cool.

Brush top with remaining butter and, with a sharp knife, score the top sheets into strips about 3 inches wide from one end of the pan to the other. Bake in a moderate oven until golden, about 45 minutes.
