Wow, am I glad I made this for lunch. It was perfect! I used dill instead of the mint(can't get used to the idea of mint in a savory cheese dish) and I also used a Cypriot Halumi cheese instead of the one in the recipe that I can spell. I've always got some phyllo dough in the freezer, and the only hardship was waiting for it to defrost in the fridge overnight!
