Delicious Greek Shredded Dough Cheesepie

Hello there,

What is everyone been up too these past few weeks?  I am not sure if you heard but Greece had an earthquake a few days ago.  We were all worried that maybe this was not the major earthquake.  After listening to the news, things will be continue to be a bit unsettling due to the aftershocks.  We actually had a smaller earthquake the day before we were hit with the 5.3.  Still a bit worried 🙁

Back to talking about recipes and food, a much happier conversation. 🙂  I had picked out this recipe way before I came to Greece, but because finding this type of dough in NL is completely out of the question, I waited until coming to Greece.  This is not really a traditional Greek Cheese pie but more of an old Smyrna recipe. The original recipe had feta cheese and a variety of other cheeses, but I definitely changed that with the combination of cheeses I added. hehehe

I know that in the UK you are able to Shredded dough, and I think you can also find in the US and Canada. hehehee I know for a fact that you guys find way more Greek products that I can in NL, so if you up to trying out this recipe let me know your thoughts.   

 

INGREDIENTS:

1 packaged of Shredded Greek Dough

1 litre Milk

4 medium size Eggs

500 grams – 2 cups Parmesan Cheese

500 grams – 2 cups Kasseri Greek Cheese (or Feta cheese)

1 cup Butter (melted)

Pepper (optional)

 

PREPARATION:

Open Shredded Dough and start to pull it apart,

like so.  

Shred cheeses.  In a large bowl add eggs, milk, pepper and whisk.

Spread butter onto the bottom part of the baking pan and layer with1/2 of the shredded dough.  Pour 1/4 cup of butter over the dough and place cheese mix.  Layer top with the rest of the dough and pour the rest of the butter before pouring the egg mixture on top.  Bake at 180 degrees for 1 hour or until golden brown.  This recipe can be eaten hot or cold.

KALI MAS OREXI!!! 🙂

 

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie

    I have never heard of shredded dough. I assume I would find it in the freezer section? Is this similar to phyllo dough?

      Hello, Yes it should be in the frozen section. But if you have a Greek Deli in your area or city, that would be the best option. :)
