CHEESE & PASTA FILO PIE

This morning I met with an Armenian friend of mine and we end up doing a dish she said is very popular in Armenia. She didn't know it's name, so I made up one that I thought would suit the dish. Cheese is the main ingredient and it is mixed with tiny little bowl pasta (cooked), parsley, eggs and seasonings to taste.



We grated tasty cheese, crumbled feta cheese, little bowl pasta (cooked), mix with one egg, a handful of parsley, chili powder, salt and black pepper. In a baking dish we layered filo pastry brushing each sheet with melted butter. Put the cheese mixture and top with another 4 to 5 layers of filo pastry brushing it with butter as done before. Cut pie into serving sizes before baking and drizzle a bit more melted butter on top. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. On top of sesame seeds, put 1 loosed sheet of filo pastry(will be taken out before eat. It will only protect the pie to avoid getting too dark while cooking in oven). Cook in a preheated 170 degrees oven for approximately 30 minutes or until golden brown. Take out of oven, let it rest for 5 minutes and take the loose filo from top. Serve with salad and hummus.
