They look vert tasty. Almost remind me of those ... Danish things? Not really a donut but a pastry with cheese.

My Dad emailed me this:

I tried making with one sheet but it was too delicate to roll so these 6 are 2 sheets, the one on the right front I overlapped the sheets by half to make them 50% longer and that seems to make a bigger circle, the start is only one sheet as is the end so it rolls easier. May be a little undercooked 375 at 15 minutes.

They look realy good .
Tell yout Dad (phyllo is very delicate pastry sheet) to keep the unused sheets covered with a wet towel. When working with phyllo you have to brush them with melted butter or olive oil between the sheets, this will make the whole piece flexible. For this kind of "bourekas" I would use 4-5 sheets and roll them 1-1/2 to 2 times.

Not entirely cheese related but for the filling of the above bourekas (börek) try to use grated butternut pumpkin and sugar. Ohh boy, that reminds me my childhood memories with my grandma...
