Ingredients

• 12 sheets phyllo dough sheets
• 400 grams feta cheese
• 3 large eggs
• 150 grams Greek yogurt
• 50 milliliters milk
• 100 grams butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons parsley
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or similar-sized pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, crumble the feta cheese into small pieces.

Step 3

Add the eggs, Greek yogurt, milk, and finely chopped parsley to the bowl with the feta. Season with salt and black pepper, then mix until well combined.

Step 4

Melt the butter and mix it with the olive oil in a small saucepan or microwave. Keep it warm to brush on the phyllo dough.

Step 5

Place one sheet of phyllo dough in the prepared baking dish, letting the edges hang over the sides. Brush it lightly with the butter and olive oil mixture.

Step 6

Repeat the process, layering and brushing 6 sheets of phyllo dough in total to form the base.

Step 7

Spread the feta mixture evenly over the phyllo dough layers.

Step 8

Layer the remaining phyllo dough sheets on top, brushing each one with the butter and olive oil mixture. Fold in the overhanging edges to seal the pie.

Step 9

Brush the top layer generously with the remaining butter and olive oil mixture for a golden finish.

Step 10

Using a sharp knife, score the top layer of the pie into squares or diamonds to make slicing easier after baking.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the pie is golden brown and crispy on top.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before cutting and serving. Enjoy your homemade feta cheese pie!
