--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1 1/2   lb           Feta cheese
   5       tb           Butter
   8       tb           Flour
   2       c            Milk, scalded
                        Salt & pepper to taste
   7       ea           Eggs, lightly beaten
     3/4   lb           Phyllo pastry
                        Butter for brushing pastry

     Crumble cheese into very small pcs.  Melt butter in
  small pot.  Add flour, blend well.  Slowly add scalded
  milk, stirring constantly to make a smooth bechamel
  sauce.  Add a little salt & pepper.  Remove from heat
  and stir until cool.  Add crumbled cheese and mix
  well.  Add eggs and mix again.
  
     Butter a pan abt. 2 inches smaller than the phyllo
  sheets.  Use a little more than hale of the phyllo
  sheets to make th b9ottom layer of the pie. Brush each
  with melted butter and place it in the pan letting the
  edges hang over the pan.  Pour in the cheese-egg
  mixture, spreating evenly. Cover mixture with the
  phyllo that extended beyond pan.  Theis will prevent
  mixture from leaking out.  Carefully cut remaining
  phyllo to fit pan. Brush each sheet with butter before
  placing on pitta.  Brush top with butter and sprinkle
  with a little water.  Score into strips to make
  cutting the pie easier after it is baked.  Bake in a
  preheated 300 F. oven for 45 min. Cut into pcs. and
  serve hot.
