Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish.

  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. Add the grated zucchinis to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the excess moisture evaporates, and the zucchinis are tender, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.

  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked zucchinis and onions with crumbled feta cheese, chopped parsley, chopped dill, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and set aside.

  5. Place one sheet of phyllo pastry on a clean surface and brush it lightly with melted butter. Repeat this process, layering more sheets of phyllo on top of each other, brushing each layer with butter.

  6. Spoon the zucchini and feta mixture onto the center of the layered phyllo sheets, leaving a border around the edges.

  7. Carefully fold the edges of the phyllo over the filling, creating a rustic, free-form pie shape.

  8. Brush the top of the pie with any remaining butter.

  9. Bake the Kolokithopita Zucchini Pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the phyllo is golden brown and crisp.

  10. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
