Whisk

Bowl

Whisk the eggs in a large bowl. Mix in sour cream, all the cheeses, and salt.

On a clean working surface, gently place a sheet of pastry and lightly brush with melted butter. Place another sheet on top and brush with butter. If you’re working with the Greek brand, use 4-5 sheets as they are much thinner.

Spread ¼ of the filling, stopping at about 1 inch from the sides. Gently start folding/rolling the sheets. You could also place the sheets on a clean tablecloth and lift its end to get the sheets rolled. Pat a little water on the open ends so that you can fold them under the roll. Put the roll in a greased pan.

Repeat this three more times. Use the leftover melted butter and brush over pita rolls, especially all the creases.

Bake in preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown. The thinner sheets need less baking time, around 35-45 minutes.

Let it cool slightly before cutting. Serve warm or cold. Enjoy!
