In a bowl, mix together the two cheeses (shredded Munster and cottage cheese).

Add in the egg and mix. Set aside for now.

Bring out the phyllo dough and separate it into two halves, covering both with a damp towel.

On a cookie sheet, lay down one sheet of phyllo and lightly brush it with butter.

Add another sheet and brush it with butter again. Repeat until you've used half of your phyllo dough.

Spread the cheese mixture evenly across the buttered phyllo dough.

Continue layering with phyllo, buttering each sheet until all phyllo is used.

Cut off excess dough and cut into squares before baking.

Bake at 350°F until brown.
