The Greek pie is definitely worth trying

Filo dough is a paper-thin dough made from wheat and water, which is used especially in the Mediterranean region.

The dough can be used for both savory and sweet baking. For example, the classic Turkish dessert baklava is made from filo dough, as is spanakopita, a Greek feta-spinach pie.

This time filo dough is used to make an easy savory pie that is a bit like spanakopita. The broiler brings foodiness to the pie.

The phyllo dough sheets are lightly greased with oil before baking. This makes the dough sheets deliciously crispy.
