Method
- 1
Heat the oven to 190°C (170°C fan). Bring the water to the boil with 2 teaspoons salt and the oil. Cook the lasagne sheets for 8 minutes, then drain and lay them flat on a tea towel so they do not stick.
8 min - 2
Mix the mozzarella, feta and parsley in a bowl. Beat the eggs with the milk and pepper in a jug.
- 3
Brush a 23cm square dish with some of the melted butter. Lay in 3 sheets, trimming to fit, then scatter over one third of the cheese and drizzle with butter.

Repeat the layers twice, finishing with a layer of cheese. Pour the egg and milk mix evenly over the top and drizzle with the last of the butter.

Bake for 35 minutes until golden, bubbling and set. Rest for 10 minutes, then cut into squares. Serve with a tomato and cucumber salad.
