  * Phyllo Leaves are Greek pastry and they should be
  defrosted.

  Combine ground beef, onion and garlic in a large
  frying-pan; cook, stirring frequently until beef loses
  pink color. Pour off drippings. Add mushrooms, bay
  leaf, salt, chili powder, cumin powder, and cinnamon;
  cook, stirring frequently, until mushrooms are tender
  about 5 minutes. Stir in tomato sauce and wine; cook,
  covered, 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  Remove bay leaf. Cool while preparing cheese filling.
  Combine egg and cream cheese in medium bowl, beat with
  electric mixer until smooth. Stir in cottage and feta
  cheeses and blend. Brush 13 x 9-inch baking pan with
  melted butter. Line pan with 1 sheet of pastry,
  fitting pastry to contour of pan. (Pastry will come up
  over edges of pan.) Brush pastry with butter. Layer
  with 3 more pastry sheets, brushing each with butter.

  Sprinkle bread crumbs evenly over top. Spoon 1/5 of
  meat filling in layer over crumbs and 1/5 of the
  cheese filling over meat. Place 1 pastry sheet over
  cheese filling, crinkling to fit inside dimensions of
  pan; brush with butter and layer with 1/5 of the meat
  and 1/5 to the cheese fillings. Repeat with 3 more
  pastry sheets, crinkling each, brushing with butter
  and topping with fillings. Turn bottom pastry ends up
  over filling. Place remaining 8 pastry sheets smoothly
  over top, brushing each with butter.

  Using spatula, tuck top pastry sheets around inside
  edges of pan. With sharp knife, score top lightly in
  half lengthwise and sixths crosswise. (Do not cut
  through.) Bake in moderate oven (350øF/175øC) 1
  hour or until top is golden brown.

  Cool at least 10 minutes before cutting along scored
  lines. Place a cherry tomato on each of 12 small
  wooden picks and insert pick in center of each serving.

  Garnish with parsley.

  Garnish individual servings with fresh fruit kabobs,
  if desired.

  FRESH FRUIT KABOBS: To make fresh fruit kabobs,
  place chunks of fresh pineapple, cantaloupe, whole
  strawberries or other fruits in season on small
  wooden skewers.

  Servings: 12
