First time I've seen this recipe w/o lemon juice. I did add some. I thought the cream cheese addition was a nice creamy change and also it was such a nice binder along with the feta I skipped the egg. I topped with some Za'atar Made for ZWT 7.

Loved this filling ! Instead of phyllo dough I used thawed frozen bread dough. I rolled it into a rectangle, spread melted butter over, spread the filling which I prepared as directed. I rolled this up pinching the seam closed. I placed the roll on a baking sheet seam side down and baked at 350 degrees. I don't recall how long I baked this, Sorry. THanks for sharing another great recipe!
