INSTRUCTIONS
Set zucchini in a colander, sprinkle with salt and drain for 1 hour.
Squeeze out excess moisture from zucchini then cook it for a few
minutes in olive oil. Season to taste from salt and pepper and set
aside to cool slightly. In a mixing bowl combine the eggs with the
milk, feta cheese, parsley, dill, and bread crumbs. Add the cooked
zucchini and adjust the seasoning, using lots of pepper. Preheat the
oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9 by 13-inch deep baking pan. Layer a
sheet of phyllo so that it overlaps baking pan and extends beyond the
rim. Brush the sheet very lightly with melted butter and cover with
another phyllo sheet. Continue this way until half of the phyllo has
been used. Add the zucchini and spread it out evenly. Fold overhanging
phyllo up over the squash filling and brush with melted butter. Lay
remaining phyllo leaves on top, again brushing melted butter between
the layers. Brush top well with butter, score top layers with a sharp
knife and bake for an hour. Cool and serve with a green salad or a
vegetable salad of green beans, tomatoes and olives. Yield: 8
