For the filling, blend the feta cheese with the cottage cheese and dill in a medium mixing bowl.
Mix the melted butter, milk and eggs in a small bowl.
Using a rectangular baking dish or pan smaller than the sheets of fillo. Open the sheets only when you are ready to use them and keep them in a pile so they do not dry out.
Lay a sheet in the greased baking dish or pan, fitting it into the corners and letting the edges come up the sides and overhang. With a ladle, pour a little of the milk and egg mixture all over the sheet and sprinkle with the grated Kasseri or Cheddar. Tear the second sheet into strips and lay them on top. Pour a little of the milk and egg mixture over the strips and sprinkle with more grated Kasseri or Cheddar.
Lay the third sheet on top - as it is, without tearing it - and spread the crumbled feta and dill filling evenly on top. The fourth and fifth sheets must be torn into strips, and each layer sprinkled with the milk and egg mixture and the grated Kasseri or Cheddar. Fold the overhanging bits of fillo over the pie and lay the last sheet on top. Tuck it down into the sides and ladle the remaining milk and egg mixture over it. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake at 350 F for 30-45 minutes, until the top is golden brown. Serve hot, cut into squares.
