18 large thin phyllo sheets
300 g Sremski cheese*
400-500 g young sorrel leaves
200 g sour cream
2 Tbsp corn flour
4 eggs
oil
salt
Cook sorrel (like you cook spinach) and cut it to small pieces. Crush cheese with a fork, mix it with eggs and add it to sorrel with sour cream and corn flour. Salt it to taste (it depends on the saltiness of cheese). Oil bottom of 25×35 cm baking pan, place two phyllo sheets, sprinkle each one with a little oil. Spread 4 Tbsp of filling over and repeat until you ran out of sheets, but leave 2 for the top.
Bake in a preheated oven on 180°C for about 35 minutes.
*Sremski cheese is a non salted cottage cheese form Srem region in Serbia. You can substitute it with feta, and sorrel with spinach or chard (preferably chard).

Marija, I wish I was at your house today!!!! Vida x

Really delicious looking. I only had sorrel once, raw and served as part of a salad, but I really liked the slightly sharp lemony flavor a lot. This has to be even better with the filo and cheese!
Look at the layers!!! Just beautiful, I have to give this a try.
Wow – that looks just wonderful. Yum.
I’ve tried sorrel beverages at Caribbean restaurant, but never know sorrel leaves before… definitely looking good… yummy
I’m so excited to find your blog! My husband is half Serbian and I’m interested in learning more about Serbian cooking. Your pictures are beautiful and very helpful to someone unfamiliar with the dishes. Thanks so much – I’ll check back often!I’d love to see an entry on how to prepare ajvar, my latest obsession.
Hi Annie,Thanks for your kind words.I will be posting about ajvar, but it’s made in autumn, so stay tuned
Beautiful photos. I unfortunately have no idea what sorrel is… I’ve seen numerous recipes for it, but have always been too lazy to look it up. Next stop, wikipedia!
Amazing dish, it looks completely wonderful. I’m so glad to have found your blog – it is most interesting.
Oh heavens, this looks wonderful–We have a very brief season for sorrel in mid-June, but I will be keeping this wonderful recipe in mind!
That looks tasty!
my mum used to grow sorrel and i loved the sourness. it also used to grow wild in some parks around sydney. i haven’t seen it in years, not even at the markets.i’ll just have to live through your scrumptious photos. sigh.
Marija, this is fantastic…I’m glad I looked deeper into your blog. I hope to see more Serbian dishes.
