This Greek Cheese Pie is a crispy, golden spiral of flaky filo pastry filled with a dreamy mix of feta and ricotta. Baked until bubbling and bronzed, it’s a showstopper that’s as fun to make as it is to eat.
Ingredients
-
500g cottage cheese (or ricotta)
- 400g feta
- 3 tbsp greek yoghurt
- 1 tsp Greece Lightning
- ½ cup parmesan
- 1 tsp Man Grind Salt Flakes
- 12 sheets filo
- Cacio e Pepe butter (sub
- normal butter)
-
Tik Tok Trending sprinkle for on top
Directions
Preheat your oven to 200°C and line a large round baking dish or tray with baking paper.
- In a bowl, combine the cottage cheese, crumbled feta, Greek yoghurt, parmesan, Greece Lightning, and Man Grind. Mix well until the filling is smooth and creamy.
- Take one sheet of filo and lay it flat. Brush lightly with melted butter, then lay another sheet on top and butter again. Spoon a line of the cheese filling along the long edge of the filo, then roll it up into a log. Gently twist the log into a loose spiral and place it in the centre of your prepared tray.
- Repeat the process with the remaining filo and filling, wrapping each new roll around the spiral to continue the coil shape. You’ll end up with one large snail-like spiral.
- Once the spiral is complete, brush the entire pie generously with butter and sprinkle with Tik Tok Sprinkle for that crunchy, golden finish.
- Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crisp. Let cool slightly before slicing into wedges.
- This pie is delicious served warm or at room temperature alongside a traditional Greek salad.
