This is a slightly simpler way to enjoy borekas -- if you don't enjoy folding over the phyllo, this recipe doesn't require it!

Ingredients
1 package phyllo
2 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
1 cup vegetable oil
Filling:
5 eggs, beaten lightly
1 lb. cottage cheese (small curd)
1 1/2 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
1/4 tsp salt
Directions
- Mix 4 eggs with cottage cheese, parmesan cheese and salt and set aside.
- Spray 13 x 9 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray or lightly oil
- Create the bottom layer by placing individual sheets of phyllo down (fold if necessary) and brushing each with oil and sprinkling a small amount of parmesan cheese. Use half the available sheets (about 15).
- Set aside the remaining phyllo sheets, making sure to keep them from drying (cover with a damp towel).
- Spread the egg and cheese mixture evenly over the bottom layer of phyllo.
- Build the top layer the same as with the bottom layer - brush each with oil and sprinkle parmesan cheese.
- Brush the top two layers with extra oil and then with the remaining beaten egg.
- At this point, you may cut lengthwise before baking (3 or 4 rows, per your preference).
- Bake at 375 degrees (F) for 45 minutes. The top should be golden brown when done.
- Cut into squares and serve!
