How to make it

7 steps. Take it one step at a time.

  1. Preheat your oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with a bit of the melted butter.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, crumble the feta cheese

    In a large mixing bowl, crumble the feta cheese. Add the beaten eggs, Greek yogurt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Stir until well combined but still slightly chunky.

  3. Lay one sheet of phyllo dough

    Lay one sheet of phyllo dough in the prepared pan, allowing the edges to hang over. Brush lightly with melted butter. Repeat this process with half of the phyllo sheets.

  4. Spread the cheese mixture evenly

    Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the buttered phyllo layers.

  5. Top with the remaining sheets of phyllo dough, brushing each sheet

    Top with the remaining sheets of phyllo dough, brushing each sheet with melted butter as you layer them. Fold any overhanging edges inward.

  6. Using a sharp knife, score the top layers of the phyllo

    Using a sharp knife, score the top layers of the phyllo into 8 large squares. This helps the steam escape and makes cutting easier later.

  7. Bake in the preheated oven

    Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and deep golden brown.

A little kitchen wisdom

Ensure the phyllo dough is completely thawed at room temperature before handling to prevent tearing. For a glossier top, you can brush the final layer with a mix of egg yolk and a splash of milk.

Keep the good going

For now. And for later.

Make it ahead

You can assemble the pie a day in advance and keep it covered in the fridge. Bake directly from the fridge, adding 5-10 minutes to the cook time.

Store & enjoy

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat in the oven or air fryer at 350°F (177°C) to restore the crispness of the pastry. Avoid the microwave if possible.
