3 eggs

350g Greek fetta, grated

an egg whisk all the time until the mixture is smooth. Remove pan from heat.
Add the fetta cheese, eggs, pepper, nutmeg and a pinch of salt and mix well.
Let the cheese filling cool.
In the meantime lay the filo pastry out flat and cut it lengthwise in
strips 5cm wide
Take 2 fillo strips
at a time and brush them with the remaining melted butter. To
create the traingle shape take one corner of the filo and fold it so
that a dessertspoonful of the filling is covered by a triangle of
pastry 5cm x 5cm x 7cm. Continue to fold the filo strip so that a number of layers are built up and the triangle shape is maintained.
Put the pastry triangles on a greased
baking sheet, brush them with the remainder of the melted
butter and sprinkle some sesame seeds on top. Bake in the oven at 180C (350F/Mark4) for 35 minutes or until they are golden
brown.
