- In a large bowl mash the feta, soft cheese and yogurt with a fork.

- Take a pan (I used a 10 X 12 inch pan), brush with a bit of olive oil and spread the first phyllo sheet, brush the sheet with olive oil and layer another phyllo sheet and brush with olive oil, continue this so you have a total 6 sheets.
- Spread the filling on top of the sheets.
- Layer the rest of the sheets on top of the filling brushing each one with olive oil.
- Score the pie in as many pieces you prefer ( I cut in 9 large ones).
- Bake in the lower level of the oven for about 1 hour.
