Cheese pie – streeftee Teerhopeeta with video!

The yogurt in this recipe gives a lovely creamy texture to the cheesepie!

Ingredients

• filo dough – homemade dough will also do – check in the end of the post for our recipe
• 200gr feta cheese
• 30gr hard cheese
• 1 cup greek yogurt
• 1 egg
• 1/2 onion
• 2-3 spring onions (if you do not have or you do not wish to use them, use 1 onion and none of spring onions)
• red hot chili pepper in case you want it spicy
• 6-10 leaves of greens (spinach or kale or whatever you have) – optional
• olive oil
• salt – optional because feta is already quite salty normally-you can taste the filling before adding the egg
• Freshly grounded pepper
• dried herbs that match well: oregano, thyme, dill
• sesame – optional to put on top of the pie

Steps

• Cut the onion in dices
• Add olive oil in a pan and when it is warm, add the onion and the chili pepper
• Cook the onion and the white part of the spring onions till transparent
• Add the green parts of the spring onions and/or the leaves of green if you are using some
• Stop the fire and when it cools down, add the yogurt and mix well
• Add the egg and mix well
• Use a fork or your hands to divide feta in smaller pieces and add them to your mix
• Add pepper and spices to the mix
• Place your filo on a flat surface, add a bit of your mix in the middle and then roll it and fold it like in the video
• You can follow the video to make a streeftee cheesepie or you can just place the filo (better 2 of them) in your baking pan, add your mix inside and then bake it with or without dough on the upper part (like an open pie)
• If you followed the video or you have filo also on the upper part of the cheesepie, add some olive oil on top and some sesame if you wish
• Bake it in 180 degrees till its golden brown (in my oven it take around 40 minutes)
