4 tablespoons butter, plus extra for greasing dish
4 eggs
fresh cracked pepper
Pinch salt
7 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
1 1/2 cups kaseri or gruyere cheese, grated
11 ounces kataifi pastry
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
2/3 cup milk
2/3 cup heavy cream
1 lemon, cut in wedges, to serve with each serving

1
Butter an ovenproof dish.
2
Beat 2 of the eggs in a bowl, season with pepper, then stir in the cheese. Set this filling aside until ready to use in pastry.
3
Tease out the kataifi pastry into 20-25 long strand sections. Keep pastry covered with a damp towel to keep them moist.
4
Take one section of kataifi and pat it down gently. Place about one tablespoon of cheese mixture at one end of pastry and roll up and then place in baking dish. Continue until cheese mixture is rolled up and dish is filled.
5
Heat butter and corn oil together and pour about teaspoon over each roll. At this point, you can wrap and put in freezer or place in refrigerator for about 24 hours.
6
One hour before baking, beat together milk, cream and remaining 2 eggs. Season with pepper. Pour over cheese rolls and let sit for about 1 hour or until liquid is absorbed.
7
Bake in preheated 350F oven for about 35-45 minutes. You want it golden brown and the egg cooked. Serve immediately with a wedge of lemon to be squeezed on the top before eating.
