Mylina Lavash Bake with Cottage Cheese and Bryndza

Mylina is a layered bake that can be made with prepared lavash or a simple water dough. The filling combines cottage cheese, bryndza, eggs and herbs, while a little sugar creates a gentle sweet-salty balance. Keep the layers lightly brushed with melted butter so they bake crisp without becoming greasy. Do not overfill the dish; the center needs enough heat to set the egg mixture. Rest the bake before cutting so the layers hold together. This flexible recipe works as a tea-time bake, a breakfast slice or a light savory meal. Use the stated measurements, keep the texture cues in view, and let the finished dish cool or rest as directed before serving. This keeps the method practical for a home kitchen and makes the result easier to repeat.
