- Fresh basil leaves 20 oz
- Feta cheese 10 oz
- Chocolate eggs 2 pieces
- Butter 0 oz
- Unleavened dough 20 oz

Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Boil the peeled potatoes (4–5 medium-sized) in salted water, cool, slice, and set aside.
Step 2
Thinly slice the onion (1 piece) and sauté it in vegetable oil in a pan.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic (1 clove), cumin (a pinch), and cook for 1–2 minutes.
Step 4
Wash the spinach (500 g), remove the stems (fold the leaf in half along the stem and, holding the edges with one hand, carefully separate the stem with the other hand, capturing the middle and top of the leaf).
Step 5
Cut the spinach into strips across the leaf and add it to the onion and garlic.
Step 6
Sauté the spinach in the pan until it becomes soft. Transfer everything to a bowl.
Step 7
Cut the feta cheese (200 g) into small cubes.
Step 8
Add the diced feta to the spinach, along with the potatoes, well-beaten raw eggs (2–3 pieces), asafetida (a pinch), sea salt (a pinch), and freshly ground black pepper.
Step 9
Gently mix everything to avoid breaking the bubbles in the egg foam.
Step 10
Grease a 26 cm round baking dish with butter.
Step 11
Roll out two layers from the prepared unleavened pastry (500 g) to about 2 mm thick, using the first layer to line the bottom and sides of the dish. Trim the edges of the layer with scissors.
Step 12
Cut the second layer into strips about 2 cm wide.
Step 13
Spread the filling in the dish and level it out. Slightly fold the edges of the first layer over the filling and place the strips of the second layer on top.
Step 14
Brush the pie with a raw egg mixed with milk (1 tablespoon) using a silicone brush. Sprinkle with small pieces of feta (a little).
Step 15
Place the pie in an oven preheated to 150–340°F on the top rack. Bake for about 45 minutes.
Step 16
Remove from the oven when it is well browned, let it cool slightly, and serve cut into large pieces drizzled with low-fat sour cream.
