[a rich dish, brilliant for lunch at work served hot, or warm]

the dough : ----------- 3 cups all purpose flour 1 cup warm water 2 tbl spoons oil 1/2 spoon oregano dash of salt

mix ingredients; knead for about 2-3 minutes; adding flour to until it doesn't stick to the hands - separate into 3 equal parts

the filling : ------------

a couple of chopped green shallots (can replace with 1/3 white onion) 1/3 cup finely chopped parsley 2 cups feta cheese , crumbled 1/3 cup freshly grated romano cheese 1/2 cup whole milk or better still, half & half 3 eggs salt, pepper, thyme

beat eggs; mix all other ingredients; heat in pot until cheese starts melting; allow to cool to room temperature; then mix in eggs

the assembly : ------------- roll out the 3 dough balls- so that each one is a bit bigger than your baking pan (i use 8x12 in.)- the amount of dough, for that size will give you the right thickness

place the first layer on the greased pan, with ends hanging over the pan rim - add half the filling

follow on with the second dough layer -add the rest of the filling

finish off with the last dough layer; fold the dough layers together

pluck a few holes, making sure you go through the second layer of dough

bake for 3/4 hour at around 400F

enjoy, with a simple tomato and cucumber salad
