Instructions: Notes: youll need a lot of space to prepare this - like an entire dining room table! Also, cover the sheets youre not working with yet with a damp tea towel to stop them drying out. It will make them a lot easier to work with. Dont freak out, though, if the sheets crack somewhat as you roll them - this is normal.

1. Preheat oven to 400 F. Mix cheeses, dill, eggs and pepper until smooth.

Reserve.

2. On a clean, dry surface, unroll the filo dough and stack in a pile.

Using a pastry brush (I dont have one, so I used the back of a spoon - worked well enough!), sprinkle the first sheet with 1/2 tsp. of butter.

Repeat with the second sheet & lay it on top of the first. Set aside.

Repeat procedure with remaining filo dough & butter to create 5 sets of two
layered sheets.

3. Mark long side of each filo dough stack into fifths, and cut into 5 equal strips, each 3-4 inches wide. Place a spoonful of the filling at the base of each double-layered strip and roll into a "cigar." Place cigars on a parchment-covered baking sheet. Repeat this process with the other 4 filo
stacks.

4. Bake until cigars lightly brown (about 15 minutes). Serve hot.

Make ahead tip: the rolled, unbaked cigars, if tightly covered with plastic
wrap, will keep fresh in the refrigerator for several hours.
