Main Procedure
In a bowl place the eggs, oil and milk. Mix them with a whisk. You will use this mixture between every two or three layers of the pastry and on top of the borek.
After greasing the Pyrex dish, place two or three layers of pastry/ 1 yufka on the bottom and let it go over the sides of the dish. Spread 3 tbsp of the mixture on it and put some of the filling you are using and spread it evenly. Take the other 2-3 sheets of pastry and wrinkle them up in order to fit to the dish (see the picture). Continue layering in the same way; first the liquid mixture and then the filling.
When you place the last pastry sheets, fold the sides of the bottom sheets over. Pour the remaining liquid mixture on top of the borek and sprinkle nigella and sesame seeds.
Preheat the oven to 350 F(180 C) and cook for about 45 minutes, until it turns golden brown. Serve warm.
