Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, crumble the feta cheese and beat in the eggs.
Add the sour cream, vegetable oil, salt, and pepper to the cheese mixture and mix well.
Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round baking dish with oil or butter.
Place 1 sheet of phyllo dough in the dish, and brush it lightly with oil.
Repeat with the remaining sheets of phyllo dough, brushing each one with oil before placing the next sheet on top.
Once you have layered 8 sheets of phyllo dough, pour the cheese mixture evenly over the top.
Layer the remaining sheets of phyllo dough on top of the cheese mixture, brushing each one with oil as you go.
Use a sharp knife to cut the top layer of phyllo dough into diamond shapes, being careful not to cut through the bottom layer.
Bake the Pita Sirnica in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Allow the Pita Sirnica to cool for a few minutes before cutting into serving portions.
Garnish with chopped parsley or chives (optional) and serve.
