Serbian Pie

I have named this recipe Serbian Pie because it is quite different from the American version of a pie, but according to my Serbian friends, the direct translation for this dish is Pie.

Ingredients:
1 sheet of Filo Dough (pastry dough) about 40cm x 20cm (16 inches x 8 inches), cut to make 8 squares
1 150 gram (5.5oz) block of Feta Cheese, mashed
1 egg
pepper to taste
3 Tbs milk
2 Tbs butter, melted
flour
wax baking paper

Directions:
On a hard serface spread out some flour and place one filo dough square on it. Sprinkle the square with some more flour and roll out with a rolling pin until about double in size. Make sure not to make any holes in the dough. Repeat this process for all dough squares. In a bowl scramble the egg and then add in the feta, milk, and pepper--the feta should be salty enough that it does not need extra salt. Mix ingredients very well together. Take one dough sheet that you have already rolled out and softly brush on some butter on one side (this will be the inside). About 1 inch away from the edge of the dough place about 3-4 Tbs of the cheese and egg filling long ways on the dough. Then roll the dough closed so that the cheese and egg mixture ends up wrapped in a few layers of filo dough. You may also roll out the dough a bit less and place the cheese egg mixture in the middle and fold the dough over, making more of a pocket. Place all Serbian Pies (the pastries that you just put together) in the cold oven in the middle of the oven on a baking sheet with wax paper (the dough will stick to aluminum foil) and set the temperatur to 200°C (400°F) and bake for 30 minutes (checking every 15 minutes). Once the dough is a light golden brown, remove from oven and let cool about 5 minutes. Enjoy! You may also brush the outside with some egg white to make it brown more quickly and the give it a more glossy look. I think the longer cooking time is better and that if you would like the more glossy look , to add it about 5 mintues before you think the pastries will be done.
