Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C) and melt 8 tablespoons of butter.
Sauté leeks in 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat for 12 minutes until tender, then drain liquid.
Stir in parsley, salt, and pepper, then cool the leek mixture.
Whisk eggs and milk, then mix in cheese and cooled leeks.
Lightly butter a 9x13-inch baking dish. Layer half of the phyllo sheets in the dish, brushing each sheet with melted butter.
Spread the filling over the phyllo, then cover with the remaining phyllo sheets, brushing each with butter.
Score the pie into 6 large or 12 smaller pieces, then bake for 40 to 55 minutes until golden. Cool for 15 minutes before serving.
