Savory Filo Pie With Cheese Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch casserole dish with olive oil.
• Place vegetables in a steamer over 1 inch of boiling water, and cover. Cook until tender but still firm, about 2 to 6 minutes; drain.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl combine egg, 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic, feta cheese and melted butter. Stir in salt, pepper, dill and onion powder. Fold steamed vegetables into egg mixture.
• Lay 4 sheets phyllo dough in the prepared dish and brush with olive oil. Lay 4 more sheets of dough in the dish, so that the edges overlap in the pan but most of the dough extends beyond the sides of the dish.
• Spoon vegetable mixture into dish and fold dough across the top. Brush with olive oil.
• Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
• Mix feta cheese and eggs together in a bowl for the filling; set aside.
• Lay out 1 sheet of phyllo on a work surface and brush liberally with olive oil. Top with another sheet and brush with oil. Repeat for a total of 4 sheets, but do not brush the top of the fourth sheet. Transfer the stack of oiled sheets to one of the greased cake pans. Drape over the bottom of the pan, trying not to be too perfect about it; you want some folds and wrinkles in the phyllo.
• Spread 1/2 of the filling over the phyllo in an even layer. Fold the overhanging phyllo over the filling, again letting natural folds and wrinkles occur. Loosely lay 1 sheet of phyllo over the top, brush with oil, and use the oiled brush to pat down the sides all around the circumference of the cake pan.
• Repeat with remaining phyllo, oil, and filling to assemble the second pie.
• Bake the cheese pies in the preheated oven until the tops are a deep golden brown, 45 to 60 minutes. Let cool for 20 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Mix and combine cottage or ricotta cheese, sea salt and eggs with a fork.
• On a clean surface lay out a sheet of filo pastry and sprinkle with some mineral water and sunflower oil. Fold the sheet in half on the long side and smear a tablespoon of the cheese mixture over it. Starting from the long end, roll the sheet loosely over the filling until you have a long filo crepe. Do not press or squeeze - leave the room for the cheese and eggs to spread while baking. Slowly twist the crepe round and round to form a spiral. Repeat for the remaining mixture - should make between 10 and 12 spirals.
• Place one spiral quite near another in a shallow, greased oven proof dish. Do not squeeze them together. Leave enough space for the pie to expand during baking.
• Mix and combine the remaining filling and oil with sour cream. Smear the top of each spiral with this mixture.
• Bake in the oven at 200°C for 40 minutes. After 20 minutes, if the pie top browns too quickly, cover with Alu foil.
• Cool the pie a little, divide into pieces and serve with yogurt, kefir or alone.
