Method
Step 1
Mix all ingredients for the filling in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

Preheat oven at 200oC/fan. Lightly brush 3 phyllo sheets per pie with olive oil and melted butter and place one on top of the other. Spread 2-3 tablespoons of filling on one long edge about an inch (2,5 cm) thick. Roll it loosely through the other end then swirl it to give a snail shape. Place on a baking sheet lined with baking parchment. Repeat procedure.
Step 3
Bake for 30 minutes or until nicely colored.
NOTE
Kasseri is a traditional, Greek cheese made from unpasteurised sheep milk or mixture of sheep and goat’s milk (with no more than 20% goat’s milk mixed in). It has a springy-texture, white crust and a very rich flavor.
