Greek-Style Zucchini Pie: A Delicious Twist on Tradition
Welcome to the world of delicious Mediterranean flavors with our Greek-Style Zucchini Pie! This dish is not just a feast for the eyes; it's creamy, cheesy, and bursting with fresh zucchini. Imagine a flaky phyllo crust, golden brown and perfectly crisp, enveloping a savory filling that weaves together rich feta, creamy ricotta, and vibrant dill.
- 4 medium zucchinis grated
- 1 onion chopped
- 2 cups feta cheese crumbled
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup fresh dill chopped
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 package phyllo dough
- Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This sets the perfect stage for a golden-brown pie!
Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, mix the grated zucchini, chopped onion, crumbled feta, ricotta, eggs, chopped dill, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Combine everything well until you have a creamy mixture.
Layer the Phyllo Dough: Grease a baking dish and lay down a sheet of phyllo dough, brushing it with olive oil. Repeat this process with 5 more sheets; they should be layered with olive oil between each.
Add the Filling: Pour your zucchini mixture into the prepared phyllo base.
Top with Phyllo: Cover the filling with more phyllo sheets, brushing each one with olive oil until you’ve used them all. Cut the top layer into squares for easier serving later on.
Bake to Perfection: Place the pie in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until it's beautifully golden.
Cool & Serve: Once done, let it cool slightly before cutting into it. Enjoy the rich, savory flavors!
