Ingredients

  • 8 sheets phyllo dough
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
  • 1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for brushing
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp garlic powder (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

How to Make Savory Cheese Pie

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, crumbled feta, eggs, parsley, dill, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes until well combined.
  3. Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and brush lightly with olive oil. Place another sheet on top and brush again. Repeat this process with four sheets.
  4. Spread half of the cheese mixture evenly over the phyllo dough.
  5. Layer another four sheets of phyllo dough on top of the cheese filling, brushing each sheet with olive oil as before.
  6. Spread the remaining cheese mixture over the second layer of phyllo.
  7. Top with the remaining phyllo sheets, brushing each with olive oil, and tuck in the edges to seal the filling.
  8. Using a sharp knife, score the top of the pie into squares to allow steam to escape while baking.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy.
  10. Allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Keep the phyllo dough covered with a damp towel while you work to prevent it from drying out.
  • Experiment with different herbs like thyme or basil for a unique flavor twist.
  • For extra crunch, sprinkle some sesame seeds on top before baking.

Easy Variations

  • Add sautéed spinach or roasted vegetables for added texture and flavor.
  • Incorporate sun-dried tomatoes or olives for a Mediterranean twist.
  • Swap out the ricotta for cottage cheese or goat cheese for a different flavor profile.

What to Serve With It

  • A fresh side salad dressed with lemon vinaigrette.
  • Tzatziki sauce for dipping.
  • Roasted vegetables for a hearty accompaniment.
  • A glass of chilled white wine enhances the flavors beautifully.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes until warmed through.
