A Greek pastry with layers of crisp, flaky filo (phyllo) encasing a simple, sweet custard. The only part that can be a bit difficult and tedious is layering and buttering the filo sheets, one at a time. When making the custard, use a medium heat until the milk is hot. Do not boil. When adding the egg mixture, do so slowly in a thin stream, whisking constantly to prevent the egg from turning to scrambled in the custard. Serve warm or chilled.
