1 packet of bought filo pastry ( if you want to make your own go right ahead )
1kg ricotta cheese
200g sour cream
1/2tsp salt
3 egg yolks
3 egg whites stiffly beaten till they peak of your whisk ( teach them whose boss )
160ml light flavoured olive oil
FILLING
Beat the cheese, salt egg yolks and sour cream in a bowl making sure they are well combined and then fold in the stiffened egg whites
Preheat oven to 180c
Cut the pastry to fit a 30cm or so baking tin that has been lightly greased with oil or butter
Brush two sheets and place in bottom of tin, next spread a thin layer of the cheese mix on the pastry, and basically you alternate between layers of cheese and pastry until you have used up whichever first, making sure you have two or three layers of filo left over to cover the top, brush the top with oil poke a few holes with a fork and sprinkle on some salt flakes or good quality ground salt bake for 30min.
Serve with a dollop of yoghurt on the side and an ice cold beer (Karlovacko) to be authentic, you can experiment with the filling some suggestions would be,
Grated walnuts and sweet ricotta, spinach and mushroom although if you are going to do a sweet version substitute sugar for the salt in above recipe
Dobar Tek ( enjoy, eat well etc etc ....)
