Lay the first sheet on the bottom of the dish and brush throughly with the melted butter. Continue the same process with the rest of the first stack of sheets making sure very sheet is well brushed with butter. Scatter the courgette and leek mix over the top. Here is how you cook that.
To get started with this particular recipe, we must first prepare a few ingredients. You can cook leek and courgette filo pie using 7 ingredients and 5 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.
The ingredients needed to make Leek and Courgette Filo Pie:
- Prepare 250 grams filo pastry (one packet)
- Take 130 grams unsalted butter or margarine
- Get 600 grams courgettes finely chopped (3 large courgettes)
- Prepare 2 large leeks
- Make ready 4 medium eggs
- Get 250 grams feta cheese
- Make ready 150 grams mature cheddar cheese
Spoon the courgette mixture on top of the filo. Bring the pastry up over the top of the pie, but don't completely cover it - scrunch the ends of the filo all the way round. Add the leeks, spring greens, petits pois, tarragon and mint. Season with salt, black pepper and basil then cover with double cream mixing it all up together.
Instructions to make Leek and Courgette Filo Pie:
- Cook the chopped courgettes and leeks. Fry them gently in a little oil and let them sweat for 10 minutes. Alternatively cook in the oven with a little oil until soft. Add a little salt and pepper and let them cool. Squeeze out as much water as possible.
- Grease an oblong baking dish. I used a 26 cm by 22 cm dish. Reverse the baking dish and cut the filo pastry sheets to fit the size of that dish - it will make it easier to handle the pastry sheets. Melt the butter.
- Roughly divide the filo pastry into 3. Lay the first sheet on the bottom of the dish and brush throughly with the melted butter. Continue the same process with the rest of the first stack of sheets making sure very sheet is well brushed with butter. Scatter the courgette and leek mix over the top.
- Continue with the second stack of filo pastry sheets, again making sure that you brush every sheet with melted butter before adding the next one. When you have used up the second stack, spread the 4 beaten medium eggs over the dish and scatter the feta cheese. Add roughly 100 grated mature cheese.
- Use the third stack of filo pastry sheets as before, Finally brush the top with more melted butter and scatter the rest of the grated cheese. Cut the filo pastry into 16 squares before you put it in the oven. Bake in a pre heated oven at 180 degrees for about 30 minutes.
Add the leeks, spring greens, petits pois, tarragon and mint. Season with salt, black pepper and basil then cover with double cream mixing it all up together. Prasa (leeks—in Greek: πρασόπιτα, pronounced: prah-SO-peetah) are favorites in all types of Greek cooking but are special favorites baked with cheese in phyllo (filo, fillo) dough. It's a nice variation of the classic, spanakopita. Roughly scrunch, wave and layer the filo into the pan, partly tucking it in at the edges (there's no need to be neat).
