Making a Large Layered Greek-Style Fillo Pie

Preparation

1. Step 1

   Use a large baking pan a little smaller than the sheets of fillo. Brush it with oil or melted butter. Place half the package of fillo, or about 7 sheets, one on top of another, at the bottom of the pan, brushing each sheet with melted butter or oil and letting the sheets come up along the sides.

   Step 2

   Spread the filling evenly on top. Then cover with the remaining sheets, brushing each, including the top one, with melted butter or oil.

   Step 3

   With a sharp-pointed knife, cut into 2-inch squares or diamonds with parallel lines, only down to the filling, not right through.

   Step 4

   Bake at 350°F for 30–45 minutes, or until crisp and golden. Cut along the cutting lines, this time right through to the bottom, and serve hot.
