Layer 6 to 8 sheets of filo in the baking dish, brushing each with olive oil.
Spread the filling evenly over the filo base.
Layer another 6 to 8 sheets of filo on top, brushing each with oil. Tuck in edges.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
