Ingredients

  • 400 grams feta
  • 250 grams ricotta
  • Large handful fresh dill
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 375 grams shortcrust pastry

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to about 170 degrees Celsius.
  • Crumble the feta into a bowl and add the ricotta, chopped dill, milk and one of the tablespoons of olive oil. Beat the eggs and add most (leave a little to brush the pastry). Combine this mixture well.
  • Brush a medium, shallow pie dish (about 30cm across) with the remaining olive oil.
  • Roll out the pastry until it’s about 5mm thick. Place it as centrally as you can over the pie dish and push gently into the corners, leaving the edges overhanging.
  • Tip the feta mix into the pie dish and even out, then layer the pastry edges over it. There’ll probably be a bit of a gap in the middle but don’t worry about that, it’ll let any air out. Crumple the pastry as evenly as you can and then brush with the remaining egg.
  • Pop in the oven for about 40 minutes until the pastry is golden. Leave to cool before eating. You’ll love it!
