The Most Mouth-Watering Albanian Leek Pie You'll Ever Taste - Cooked in a Primitive Mud Oven

feta cheese

🥗Healthier: ricotta cheese

💰Cheaper: cottage cheese

Ricotta provides a similar texture with fewer calories.

phyllo pastry

🥗Healthier: whole wheat pastry

💰Cheaper: homemade dough

Whole wheat adds fiber, while homemade can reduce costs.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Wash and chop the leeks finely.

Sauté the leeks in olive oil over medium heat until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

In a bowl, mix the sautéed leeks with crumbled feta cheese, eggs, yogurt, and black pepper.

Lay one sheet of phyllo pastry on a greased baking tray and brush with olive oil.

Layer additional sheets of phyllo, brushing each with oil, until you have 3-4 layers.

Spread the leek mixture evenly over the layered phyllo.

Fold the edges of the phyllo over the filling to create a border.

Top with more phyllo sheets, brushing each with oil, and tuck the edges underneath.

Score the top with a knife to create portions.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.

Let cool slightly before serving.
