Feta Squares

Ingredients

• 1 pound feta cheese, crumbled

Preparation

1. Beat cheeses at medium speed with an electric mixer until blended. Add eggs at low speed, one at a time, until blended. Stir in dill, salt, and pepper.
2. Cut each pastry sheet into a 13- x 9-inch rectangle. Stack 8 pastry sheets in a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch pan, brushing with butter between sheets. Spread with cheese mixture; top with 4 more sheets, and brush with butter.
3. Bake at 350° for 45 to 50 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting into squares.
