INGREDIENTS:

1 package whole wheat phyllo dough

2 packages low-fat cottage cheese (500 g / about 1 lb each)

1 package skyr yogurt (500 g / about 1 lb)

2 eggs

salt to taste

Mix the cottage cheese, skyr, and eggs in a bowl, and add salt to taste. (Set 2 tablespoons of the filling aside.)

Spread about 200 g of the mixture onto each phyllo sheet and roll it up like a small burek, or leave it flat if you're making a pie.

Arrange the rolls in a baking pan sprayed with oil.

Before putting them in the oven, "drizzle" the rolls with the thinned filling — I usually pour about one tablespoon over each roll (thin the 2 tablespoons of reserved filling with a little water).

Bake for about 40 minutes.

You can add spinach or Swiss chard to the filling to increase the vegetable content.
