Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Crumble the feta into a medium bowl. Add the cream cheese, eggs, dill if using, salt and pepper, and mix with a spatula until just combined. The filling will be slightly chunky.
- Lightly grease an 11½ x 9-inch (27 x 22 cm) baking dish with melted butter. Lay one filo sheet over the bottom, letting the edges overhang, and brush with butter. Repeat with 4 more sheets.
- Spread the filling evenly over the filo, then fold the overhanging edges over the filling.
- Cut the remaining 3 filo sheets in half crosswise. Layer each half-sheet over the filling, brushing each with butter, and tuck the sides in around the filling. Brush the top with any remaining butter.
- Bake for 40 minutes, until golden brown. Cool for 15–20 minutes.
- Cut into 9 pieces and serve.
