Farmer Cheese Phyllo Pie Recipe
Nothing says home to me quite like a slice of Farmer Cheese Phyllo Pie, golden and crackling on the outside with a creamy center of farmer cheese, dill and eggs. My mom used to make it every week growing up, turning it into our family's most requested meal!
Ingredients
- 8-10 oz Lifeway Farmer Cheese
- 1 cup Lifeway Organic Whole Milk Plain Kefir
- 1 package phyllo sheets 18–20 sheets
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh dill chopped
- 1/4 cup olive oil divided
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the farmer cheese, eggs, kefir, salt, pepper, 1 tbsp olive oil, and dill. Set aside.
- Open the phyllo sheets and cover them with a towel to prevent drying.
- Lightly drizzle olive oil over the first couple of phyllo sheets and place them in a 9” pie dish to form the base.
- Continue drizzling olive oil over each phyllo sheet, scrunching them slightly as you layer about 6 sheets at the bottom.
- Spread half of the cheese filling evenly over the phyllo layers.
- Repeat the layering process with more scrunched phyllo sheets, then spread the remaining filling over the top.
