Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a bowl, crumble 8 oz feta and mix with 1 cup cottage cheese and 2 eggs until well combined.
Step 2
Melt 4 tbsp butter. Brush a 9x13-inch baking dish with some of the melted butter.
Step 3
Lay one sheet of phyllo in the dish, brush with butter, and repeat with 4-5 sheets, layering them to cover the bottom and sides.
Step 4
Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the phyllo. Top with 4-5 more phyllo sheets, brushing each with butter.
Step 5
Brush the top with remaining butter and sprinkle with 1 tbsp sesame seeds. Bake until golden brown and crisp, about 30-35 minutes.
Step 6
Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
