Let’s transform some thin layers of phyllo pastry into something sweet, delicious and flaky. For that, layer vegetable oil-coated phyllo sheets and a creamy egg and yogurt mixture flavored with orange and lemon zest. Oh, and if you ever hear the names “Flies’ graveyard” or “Flies cemetery” it’s about the raisins sprinkled between the layers.
