This recipe is good to make when you are upset with someone and need to relieve the stress. It involves crumpling phyllo pastry sheets and throwing them into the pot.
Ingredients:
1 package phyllo pastry (454g)
200 - 300g feta cheese
5 eggs
about 500ml sparkling water
1tsp baking powder
splash of vegetable oil
butter to cover the bottom and sides of a baking dish
Butter the bottom and sides of a baking dish. Turn the oven on 375 F (180 C).
In a bowl, beat 4 eggs (leave one egg for later). Add crumbed feta cheese, splash of oil and sparkling water.
Take two phyllo pastry sheets and line the bottom of your baking dish, folding it to fit the bottom.
Take one phyllo pastry sheet, put it into egg and cheese mixture and crumple it. Now fun part begins.
Throw it like that into baking dish. Repeat the process until you have one layer of crumpled balls in a baking dish. Leave the air in these crumples, do NOT squeeze them too tightly.
Take one phylo pastry sheet and cover the layer of crumpled sheets.
Repeat the process and end with one or two flat, dry (without eggs and cheese mixture), phyllo pastry sheets.
In a bowl, beat the remaining egg and add a splash of vegetable oil. Mix it well and pour over the last sheet.
You can poke few times with a fork before putting it into the oven. Bake for 1 h 15 min. Check around 45min and if top is golden brown, put some aluminum foil over (do not close foil tightly, just put it lightly on the top of baking dish.
When it's done, take it out of the oven and let it cool a bit before cutting and serving. It can happen sometimes that when you start cutting it, top drops down. It is OK, it will be delicious that way, too.
