Instructions

1
Mix feta, ricotta, eggs, parsley, and pepper until combined. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2
Brush a 9×13 baking dish with melted butter. Lay 2 sheets of phyllo in the pan, letting the excess drape over the sides. Brush with butter. Repeat with 4 more layers of phyllo, brushing each with butter.
3
Spread the cheese filling evenly over the phyllo. Fold the overhanging phyllo over the filling. Layer 6 more sheets of phyllo on top, brushing each with butter, tucking the edges neatly into the pan.
4
Brush the top generously with butter and score into diamond shapes with a sharp knife. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake for 30–35 minutes until deeply golden and shatteringly crispy. Cool 10 minutes before cutting along scored lines.
