Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.

Whisk together eggs, baking powder, and salt in a bowl until smooth.

Add milk gradually to the egg mixture, whisking continuously.

Layer filo pastry in a greased pie dish, allowing edges to hang over.

Pour the milk mixture over the filo layers.

Sprinkle yellow cheese and feta cheese evenly on top of the filling.

Fold over the edges of the filo pastry to create a ruffled effect.

Bake for 45-50 minutes, until the top is golden and set.

Allow to cool slightly before slicing.

Serve warm or at room temperature.
