Greek yogurt adds protein and thickness.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat.

In a bowl, mix the eggs, sour cream, and baking powder until smooth.

Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and brush with melted butter.

Place another sheet on top and brush with butter again.

Spoon a portion of the egg and sour cream mixture along one edge of the phyllo.

Roll the dough tightly around the filling to form a log shape.

Coil the log into a spiral and place it in a greased baking dish.

Repeat with remaining phyllo and filling, arranging spirals in the dish.

Brush the top with remaining melted butter.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, until golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing.
