This Greek Bougatsa recipe is simple to make with store-bought phyllo pastry. Phyllo layers envelope a creamy, semolina custard and is baked to golden perfection. Dust with icing sugar and serve warm for dessert, breakfast or brunch.
2 eggs
¼ cup sugar
1 ¾ cups whole Milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ cup semolina (fine)
Pinch salt
¼ cup butter cut into cubes
Zest from one lemon
Butter for the pan
½ cup melted butter
8 phyllo pastry sheets, thawed, covered with damp towel
Icing sugar and/or cinnamon for dusting
While this dessert is best enjoyed the day it’s made, you can store it in the refrigerator once fully cooled, in an airtight container for 2 days. Reheat slices in the oven on a baking sheet at 350F until warmed through.
