Cooking method
Puff pastry pies filo - one of the most favorite dishes of the Greeks. They can be found on the menu of any cafe, they are constantly being prepared at home. Pies with cheese filling are especially popular. In Greece, they are usually served for breakfast. And it's not so difficult to cook it.
1. To fill the pie, you will need Bechamel sauce. To do this, melt the butter in a saucepan with a thick bottom and gradually add flour there. Over medium heat, stirring constantly, bring the flour to a golden hue. Then, continuing to beat with a kitchen whisk, pour the milk into the pan and bring the mixture to a boil with constant stirring. Cook the sauce for 8-10 minutes until you get a thick cream. Remove from heat and let the sauce cool.
Take Greek yogurt (can be replaced with sour cream), egg, Greek feta cheese and grated hard gruyere cheese. Mix everything until smooth and pour in the cooled Bechamel sauce. Mix everything thoroughly again. This will be the filling for the pie.
2. Turn on the oven at 210 degrees. Prepare a frying pan with a diameter of 26 cm . Grease the bottom of the pan with vegetable oil.
Take the filo dough. Divide it into sheets. Put one sheet on parchment, step back 1 cm from the edge, put the filling along the edge of the sheet and carefully wrap the sheet in a tube. Then put this tube of dough on the edge of the prepared pan. Take the second sheet. Put the filling on it, wrap it and put it in a frying pan in the place where the previous one ends. Do this with all the sheets, stacking them as a continuation of the previous spiral until the twisted sheets of dough fill the entire pan.
Grease the pie with vegetable oil. Pierce it in several places with a toothpick so that steam escapes during heating. Put in a preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes at a temperature of 210 degrees. Then reduce the temperature to 180 degrees and bake for another 20-30 minutes - depends on the number of layers of the pie. To determine the readiness of the pie, it needs to be shaken a little - the filling should not stick to the bottom, and the pie is easy to separate.
Greek breakfast for the whole family is ready! Bon appetit!
