Steps

2 hrs 10 mins

1

In a bowl add 3 eggs, pepper and all of the cheeses (feta, roquefort, cheddar and gouda), and mix them until combined.
2

Prepare the kataifi pastry by pulling it apart, gently spreading its strands out until it gets fluffy.
3

Use a small bowl to create each pie by adding a handful of kataifi pastry and a spoonful of the cheese filling.
4

Close it into a ball and transfer it to an oiled tray. Repeat until the tray is full.
5

Melt the butter and spread it over each pie.
6

In a bowl add 3 eggs, the double cream and the milk. Mix them well and spread it evenly over the tray.
7

Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the kataifi to soak up the egg mixture.
8

Bake in a pre-heated oven at 180ºC (350ºF) for 50 minutes.
