Crispy Filo Pie with Feta and Dill

Ingredients

• 8 to 10 sheets filo pastry

• 100 g butter, melted, plus extra for greasing the baking dish

• 500 g feta cheese

• 2 eggs

• White pepper, to taste

• 4 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped

Instructions

Prepare the Filling

Crumble the feta cheese into a bowl and mash it lightly with a fork.

Beat in the eggs and season with white pepper. Add the chopped dill and mix until everything is well combined.

Assemble the Pie

Grease a large, deep baking dish, either round or square, with butter.

Layer 4 to 5 sheets of filo pastry in the dish, brushing each sheet generously with melted butter before adding the next. Allow the edges of the pastry to hang over the sides of the baking dish.

Spread the cheese filling evenly over the pastry.

Cover with the remaining filo sheets, brushing each layer with melted butter as you go. Brush the top generously with butter as well.

Bake

Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F).

Bake for about 45 minutes.

Increase the oven temperature to 220°C (425°F) and continue baking for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the top is crisp and beautifully golden and the filling is fully cooked.

Serve warm and enjoy the flaky, buttery layers with the creamy feta filling.
