                        SPALDING
   2      pounds        Feta cheese -- crumbled
  10                    Eggs -- lightly beaten
   1 1/4  pounds        Phylo pastry
     1/2  cup           Melted butter for brushing

Crumble feta cheese and mix with beaten eggs.
Butter a baking pan the size of the phyllo pastry. Put four sheets of phyllo into the pan, brushing each one with melted butter. Spoon in some of the cheese mixture; top with 2 more phyllo sheets, brushing them with butter. Continue in this manner until all cheese mixture is used up, saving 4 sheets of phyllo for top of pie.

 Score lightly in long strips.  Bake in preheated 300 F. oven for about 45 min.  Cut scored strips into 2-inch pcs. and serve hot. Serves 6-8.
