8. Remove the pot from heat and add the tepid water gradually mixing well so that the sauce thickens and doesn't get any lumps.
9. When you have added all the milk boil it for a while to thicken but not too much, then add the kefalotyri and after you have stirred it for a while so that the cheese is incorporated, pour it over the last layer of the baking tray making sure it is evenly distributed.
10. Bake at 200°C without the fan for about an hour, depending on your oven. I baked it for an hour and a quarter because I chopped my vegetables into slightly larger pieces. It is divine!
