Preparation time: 20 minutes
Baking time: 40 minutes
Total time: 1 hour
Number of servings: 8

Ingredients:
- 250 g sheep cheese
- 700 ml sweet milk
- 12 tablespoons semolina
- 5 eggs
- 2 packets bourbon vanilla sugar
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- 1 essence of rum
- 1 package of pastry sheets
- margarine for greasing
- powdered vanilla sugar for decoration

Preparing the sheep cheese pie:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by gathering all the ingredients on your workspace. It is important to have everything at hand to facilitate the cooking process. Crumble the cheese lightly with a fork, and take the eggs out of the fridge about 15 minutes before use to bring them to room temperature.

2. Mixing the composition: In a large bowl, add the sweet milk and sugar. Mix well until the sugar is completely dissolved. Then, add the semolina, eggs (four in total), vanilla sugar, and rum essence. Mix everything with a whisk or spatula until you achieve a homogeneous composition.

3. Incorporating the cheese: Now, add the crumbled cheese to the milk mixture. Gently stir so that the cheese is evenly distributed, but without crushing it too much. This combination will give the pie its unmistakable flavor.

4. Preparing the baking tray: Take a baking tray and grease it with margarine to prevent the pie from sticking. Then, place three pastry sheets in the tray, slightly overlapping them. You can brush them with a little margarine between them to achieve a crispier texture.

5. Adding the composition: Pour a layer of the cheese mixture over the pastry sheets. Continue alternating between pastry sheets and the cheese mixture until you finish the ingredients, ensuring that the last layer consists of pastry sheets.

6. Preparing for the oven: Beat the remaining egg and brush it evenly over the pie. Sprinkle sugar over the egg to achieve a golden and sweet crust at the end. With a fork, pierce the pie in several places to allow steam to escape during baking.

7. Baking the pie: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Once the oven is ready, place the tray inside and let it bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the pie becomes golden and nicely browned.

8. Serving the pie: After the pie is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Sprinkle powdered vanilla sugar on top for an elegant appearance and an extra touch of sweetness. You can serve the pie warm or at room temperature, alongside a cup of tea or fresh lemonade.

Practical tips:
- If you want a fluffier pie, you can add a pinch of baking soda to the mixture.
- You can replace sheep cheese with cottage cheese or feta cheese, depending on your preferences.
- Experimenting with various flavors, such as lemon or orange zest, can add an extra touch of flavor.
- If you like nuts, you can add some crushed walnuts between layers for a crunchy taste.

Nutritional benefits:
This pie is an excellent source of protein from eggs and cheese, while the semolina provides complex carbohydrates, offering energy throughout the day. Sweet milk contributes calcium and essential vitamins, making this pie a nutritious choice.

Frequently asked questions:
1. Can I use store-bought pastry sheets? Yes, it is recommended to use store-bought pastry sheets for a quick and simple preparation.
2. Can the pie be frozen? Yes, the pie can be frozen, but it is recommended to freeze it before baking, and then bake it directly from the freezer.
