Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 3 leeks, chopped

  • Salt to taste

  • Black pepper to taste

  • 3 eggs

  • 3/4 cup Greek yogurt

  • 1/2 cup feta cheese

  • 1/4 cup walnuts, finely chopped

  • 2 tablespoons dill, chopped

  • 12 sheets phyllo dough

Directions

  • Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F.

  • Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the leeks for 6-7 minutes or until translucent. Add salt and pepper.

  • Whisk the eggs, yogurt, and feta cheese in a small bowl and add to the leek mixture. Stir in the walnuts and dill and mix well.

  • Grease a 10-inch cake pan. Lightly brush 7 phyllo dough sheets with olive oil on both sides and evenly distribute across the bottom of the pan.

  • Transfer the leek mixture to the pan, folding any draping edges of dough over the filling.

  • Lightly brush the remaining 5 phyllo dough sheets with olive oil on both sides. Layer them on top of the filling. Cut slashes into the top of the crust to vent steam during baking.

  • Bake for 1 hour or until golden.
