Procedure
Preheat the oven to 175 °C (350 °F).
Crumble feta and mix with sour cream to get a thick cheesy mixture.
On a top phyllo dough sheet drizzle a bit of oil and place mixture chunks over the first half. Roll two sheets together into tight wrap (length-wise). Place into a well-oiled baking dish (don’t forget the sides). Repeat until you fill the dish.
Once done with all sheets, oil the top side a bit and sprinkle with some water to keep the top moist. You can also sprinkle any leftover cheese.
Place the dish into the oven until it browns (about 60 minutes, depending on the dish).
Once out, gently wet top with a water and leave to coll.
