For the pie:

- 60 grams sunflower oil for greasing
- a splash of olive oil for greasing
Instructions
For the filling:
- In a medium sauce pan whisk together the 65 grams of sunflower oil with the flour.
- Heat over medium heat by whisking constantly.
- Once the flour gets a nice golden color , add the milk slowly.
- Continue whisking until you have a nice thick cream. Remove from heat. Set aside to cool for a few minutes.
- Mix in the yogurt, egg, feta and Gruyère cheese.
Cup of Yum
For the pie:
- Preheat oven to 210°C/410°F. Lay open the phyllo sheets on your working surface.
- Grease a 10- inch round pan with a good splash of olive oil.
- Take one phyllo sheet and lay it flat. Grease with sunflower oil, using a pastry brush. Spread lengthwise a 1cm thick line of the filling. (Leave a 1cm empty space on each end of the phyllo so the filling won't come out when rolling)
- Start rolling the phyllo gently, towards it's other end.
- Add the 1st phyllo roll into the outer side of the pan. Press softly so it will fit exactly to the walls of the pan.
- Continue the same process until you fill the pan. (NOTE: every time you add a new phyllo roll into the pan, make sure to secure it's ending under the previous phyllo roll)
- Grease with sunflower oil. With a toothpick prick the pie all around so the steam will be able to come out while baking and not the filling.
- Bake for 10 minutes at 210°C/410°F.
- Reduce heat to 180°C/356°F and bake for another 20-30 minutes.
- Shake the pan to make sure the pie is cooked at the bottom (shouldn't stick to the pan).
