The perfect breakfast pie topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 10 sheets frozen phyllo dough, thawed
- 3/4 cup chopped olives
- 1/4 cup chopped garlic-stuffed green olives
- 0.5 cup chopped tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
- 2 tablespoons chopped red onion
- 0.5 cups chopped white mushrooms
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed
- 0.5 cups chopped marinated artichoke hearts
- 0.5 cups grated sharp cheddar
- 0.5 cup crumbled feta
- 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh basil
- 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh oregano
- 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh thyme
- 4 large eggs
- 0.5 cups low-fat milk
- 2 tbsp (30 g) butter, melted
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 175°C.
- In a large bowl, combine the Kalamata olives with the green olives, tomatoes, green and red onions, mushrooms, garlic, and artichoke hearts. Stir in both types of cheese, basil, oregano, and thyme; set aside for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, in another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
- Grease a 25cm (10-inch) glass or ceramic pie dish with butter. Stack 6 sheets of filo pastry (cover the remaining sheets with a damp towel) and cut out a 30cm (12-inch) circle with a small knife. Place 1 circle of pastry in the prepared pie dish and grease it with butter; layer 5 more layers of pastry in the same way, brushing each one with butter.
- Spread the olive mixture evenly over the dough, then pour in the egg mixture. Cut 25cm circles from the remaining 4 sheets of filo pastry. Place them on top of the pie, brushing each circle with butter before adding the next.
- Bake until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let the pie rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
