TIROPITA 
2 c. milk
1/3 c. Farina or Cream of Wheat
1/2 c. butter, melted
3/4 lb. feta cheese
16 oz. ricotta cheese
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
5 eggs, beaten
1/2 lb. phyllo dough

Heat milk and Farina slowly, until it begins to thicken; add half the butter and set aside to cool.

Combine cheeses and eggs and add to sufficiently cooled Farina mixture.

In a 9x13 inch pan or cookie sheet (with sides), place a sheet of phyllo, then melted butter. Continue to layer until half the phyllo and butter are used. Pour in cheese filling. Top with remaining phyllo and butter (alternately), making sure top sheet is thoroughly buttered. Bake at 350 degrees for 60 to 70 minutes. Let cool.

NOTE: If top browns too quickly, cover with foil.
