[Here on Corfu Ive had this recipe with sheets of phyllo dough lining the bottom of the pan and covering the top of the pie... OUR cheese pie wears "trousers".]

[This recipe comes from Cephalonia, another Ionian Island. The name is a local witticism referring to the pies lack of a crust. Called a pie, this is really a cheese bread that contains very little flour. It resembles a flat souffle but is very light and tasty. This is a very versatile recipe; try experimenting with different kinds of cheese.]
