Instructions
1
Prep
Preheat oven to 375°F. Brush a small 5×5-inch baking dish lightly with the olive oil.
2
Whisk the egg with milk until smooth, then stir in cottage cheese, feta, parsley, and black pepper until combined.
3
Build
Lay one phyllo sheet in the prepared dish, brush with half the melted butter, spoon the cheese mixture evenly over it, and leave a small border.
4
Top with the second phyllo sheet, brush with remaining butter, and tuck edges down to seal the pastry.
5
Bake at 375°F for 25 to 30 minutes until the top is deep golden and crisp and the filling is set firm when pressed.
6
Let stand in the dish for 10 minutes until the filling firms up and lifts cleanly.
