Greek Cheese Pie

the dough :
3 cups all purpose flour
1 cup warm water
2 tbl oil
1/2 tsp oregano
dash of salt

mix ingredients; knead for about 2-3 minutes; adding flour to until it doesn't stick to the hands - separate into 3 equal parts

the filling :
a couple of chopped green shallots (can replace with 1/3 white onion)
1/3 cup finely chopped parsley
2 cups feta cheese , crumbled
1/3 cup freshly grated romano cheese
1/2 cup whole milk or half & half
3 eggs
salt, pepper, thyme

beat eggs;mix all other ingredients; heat in pot until cheese starts melting;allow to cool to room temperature; then mix in eggs

the assembly :
roll out the 3 dough balls- so that each one is a bit bigger than your baking pan (i use 8x12 in.)- the amount of dough, for that size will
give you the right thickness

place the first layer on the greased pan, with ends hanging over the pan rim - add half the filling. follow on with the second dough layer -add the rest of the filling. finish off with the last dough layer; fold the dough layers together. pluck a few holes, making sure you go through the second layer of dough.

bake for 3/4 hour at 400F
