Alevropita Zagori pie recipe
Props
One large bowl, one shallow pizza pan,
a small egg bowl
Ingredients
12 tablespoons of wholemeal wheat flour, 3-4 eggs,
150-200 g of hard feta cheese, preferably of goat’s milk,
100 g of sheep or goat’s milk butter, 1-2 or more
handfuls of grated pumpkin, a little oil for the pan.
Preparation
We beat the eggs in the small bowl, except
for one that you save for last.
Grate the pumpkin into the large bowl, then
lightly salt and marinate until it has released its liquid,
which we keep in the bowl without draining it.
Add the beaten eggs and flour to the large bowl.
Normally no water is needed. We mix well
and finally add half of the cheese
after rubbing it in with your hand.
Spread the mixture on the baking tray
after greasing it beforehand. Then sprinkle
the rest of the cheese over the top, rubbing it in
by hand. Using a fork, spread the last beaten egg
in a criss-cross pattern. Finally, add the butter
by hand in chunks, which will melt and spread over the top.
Baking
Bake in a preheated oven at 250 degrees with fan.
In 15 to 20 minutes it is ready.
It is eaten warm by hand, just like pizza.
