Ingredients

  • Preheat the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit 180 degrees celsius.
  • 2. Slice the onions.
  • 5 cups sliced mature onions preferably red
  • 2 ½ cups sliced spring onions
  • 8 ounces feta cheese
  • 2 Tablespoons anthotiro or ricotta or other soft cheese
  • 1 heaping tablespoon Greek yogurt
  • 3 eggs
  • 3 tablespoons dill
  • 3 tablespoons parsley
  • 2-3 tablespoons olive oil for sautéing + ¼-⅓ cup for brushing the phyllo
  • 1 package phyllo dough defrosted
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Sauté first the mature onions in 3 tablespoons of olive oil for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the spring onions and sauté for an additional 6-7 minutes until soft. Add the herbs and some salt and pepper. Mix well and remove from heat.
  • In a large bowl mash the feta, soft cheese and yogurt with a fork.
  • Whip the eggs and add to the cheese mixture.
  • Add the cooled onion mixture to the cheese mixture and blend well.
  • Take a pan (I used a 10 X 12 inch pan), brush with a bit of olive oil and spread the first phyllo sheet, brush the sheet with olive oil and layer another phyllo sheet and brush with olive oil, continue this so you have a total 6 sheets.
  • Spread the filling on top of the sheets.
  • Layer the rest of the sheets on top of the filling brushing each one with olive oil.
  • Score the pie in as many pieces you prefer ( I cut in 9 large ones).
  • Bake in the lower level of the oven for about 1 hour.
  • Remove from oven and let it cool.

Notes

This is best enjoyed at room temperature. These also freeze well.
