Ingredients
- Phyllo Dough 10 oz
- Wheat Flour 0 oz
- Milk 0 fl oz
- Water 0 fl oz
- Butter 0 oz
- Chicken Egg 4 pieces
- Feta cheese 20 oz
- Salt 0 oz
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Combine the milk and water in a pot, add the butter and salt. Place on the heat and bring to a boil.
Step 2
Add the flour to the pot and cook until the dough begins to pull away from the spatula while stirring. Allow the mixture to cool.
Step 3
Transfer to a mixer and, while continuously stirring, add the eggs one at a time. Add the feta cheese and mix everything well until you achieve a smooth, homogeneous mixture.
Step 4
Grease a round baking dish with butter. Lay one sheet of phyllo pastry, brush it with butter to prevent it from becoming too dry during baking. Repeat this process for another 3 layers of pastry. Spread the cheese filling evenly over the phyllo base. Cover the pie by adding another 3 layers of phyllo pastry, brushing each sheet with butter.
Step 5
Before baking, lightly spray the pie with water to achieve a more golden and crispy crust. Bake at 355°F (350 degrees Fahrenheit) for 40 minutes. After 20 minutes of baking, you can spray the dough with water again.
