1 teacup of oil

The phillo pastry is layered in a greased baking dish, with grated cheese sprinkled every 2 layers. The banitsa is cut into squares or diamonds and the cuts are drizzled with hot oil (so that the phillo pastry turns pinkish). The eggs are beaten and poured into a jar of compote, which is then filled to the top with sparkling water. This mixture is poured over the phillo pastry layers and after it has been absorbed well, it is baked in a hot oven. If desired, pieces of cow’s butter can be placed on top before baking.
