Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
- Mix feta cheese and eggs together in a bowl for the filling; set aside.
- Lay out 1 sheet of phyllo on a work surface and brush liberally with olive oil. Top with another sheet and brush with oil. Repeat for a total of 4 sheets, but do not brush the top of the fourth sheet. Transfer the stack of oiled sheets to one of the greased cake pans. Drape over the bottom of the pan, trying not to be too perfect about it; you want some folds and wrinkles in the phyllo.
- Spread 1/2 of the filling over the phyllo in an even layer. Fold the overhanging phyllo over the filling, again letting natural folds and wrinkles occur. Loosely lay 1 sheet of phyllo over the top, brush with oil, and use the oiled brush to pat down the sides all around the circumference of the cake pan.
- Repeat with remaining phyllo, oil, and filling to assemble the second pie.
- Bake the cheese pies in the preheated oven until the tops are a deep golden brown, 45 to 60 minutes. Let cool for 20 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

TRADITIONAL GREEK TIROPETES (CHEESE PHYLLO PIE)
The buttery and flakey phyllo is a great compliment to the cheese filling. Use more ricotta if feta is too bold of a taste. This is the way my mom makes it. Recipe taken from "The Complete Book of Greek Cooking, The Recipe Club of St. Pauls Greek Cathedral".

- Bring sugar, 1 1/2 cups water, and lemon juice to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Let syrup cool completely, about 30 minutes; stir in orange blossom water and rose blossom water.
- Preheat oven to 400°F with oven rack in bottom third of oven. Generously grease a 13- x 9-inch pan with ghee or butter. Stir together mozzarella and ricotta in a medium bowl until combined; cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Using your hands, mix together kataifi and melted ghee in a large bowl until combined. Scatter half of the kataifi mixture into prepared pan, pressing firmly with your hands to evenly cover bottom. Dollop spoonfuls of cheese mixture evenly over top, and, using damp hands or an offset spatula, spread in an even layer. Scatter remaining kataifi mixture evenly over filling, and press firmly.
- Bake in preheated oven on lower rack until cheese has melted and crust is golden brown, 25 to 35 minutes. Let cool in pan on a wire rack 5 minutes. Invert pie onto a serving platter. Immediately drizzle with enough of the cooled syrup to soak the cake (about 11/2 cups). Sprinkle with pistachios, and serve with remaining syrup.
