Today is a day we celebrate in Greece by cooking or baking anything with cheese and so it is called Tyrini (tyri = cheese) and as it is always on a Sunday we call it Cheesy Sunday. Just like carnival is celebrated by eating all the meat before lent (carne levare meaning remove all meat) the last day before lent we have to clean out all the dairy products so as from tomorrow and for forty days according to Orthodox religion we have to abstain from eating meat and dairy products.

How to make it
- Boil milk on high heat and add the trahanas. Lower heat and stir for about 10 minutes until it becomes creamy.
- Add butter and remove from heat to cool down.
- Preheat oven at 200 degrees Centigrade (do not use air) .
- Beat eggs and add to mixture together with crumbled feta. Taste and add salt if needed.
- Grease a big baking tin and sprinkle the bread crumbs. Empty mixture and sprinkle about a spoonful of olive oil over the mixture. As my friend states, the pie must be very thin about 2 cm high and that makes it even better.
- Bake it until a nice colour is achieved for about one hour.
- If you would like to make this pie, I am sure you can find trahanas (ask for sour trahanas) at stores selling Greek or Cypriot Products.
