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.

Ingredients
  

  • 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

Instructions
 

  • 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!
