Ingredients
Pie
  • 500g leeks, cleaned and thinly sliced
  • Bunch of dill, chopped
  • Bunch of mint, chopped
  • 200g feta, crumbled
  • 250g cream cheese
  • 2 lemons, zested and juiced
  • 290g olives, pitted and halved
  • 280g filo pastry
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

How it's made!
    • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced leeks, chopped dill, chopped mint, crumbled feta, and ricotta.
    • Add the lemon zest and juice to the bowl and mix everything together.
    • Add the halved olives to the mixture and stir them in.
    •  Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
    •  Unroll the filo pastry and cover it with a damp towel to prevent it from drying out.
    •  Brush a 9-inch pie dish with melted butter.
    •  Place one sheet of filo pastry on the bottom of the dish, letting the edges hang over the sides.
    •  Brush the sheet of filo pastry with melted butter.
    • Repeat the process with the remaining filo sheets, layering them on top of each other and brushing each sheet with melted butter.
    • Once you've layered all the filo sheets, pour the leek and feta mixture into the pie dish and spread it out evenly.
    • Fold the overhanging edges of the filo pastry back over the filling to create a border.
    • Brush the top of the filo pastry with melted butter.
    • Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes or until the filo pastry is golden brown and crispy.
    • Once the pie is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
    • Enjoy your delicious Leek and Feta Filo Pie with Olives and Herbs!
