Cheese and onions pie

Directions

  1. Rinse the grated onions with plenty of water to reduce their strong taste.
  2. Mix cheese with onions, salt and eggs.
  3. Baste a rectangular or round baking pan with oil.
  4. Start placing the filo sheets in the pan. You should baste with oil each filo sheet separately.
  5. Place 2 thin filo sheets or one thick on the bottom (the thickeness depends on how thin or thick you roll them). The bottom sheets should come up above the top of the pan.
  6. Pour the mixture on top of the bottom sheets.
  7. Cover the mixture with one thick filo or two thin and baste again with olive oil each filo sheet separately. The parts of the bottom filo sheets that come up above the pan should be turned inside to seal the pie. Score the pie in rectangular pieces and bake in preheated oven in 180 – 200 C for aprox. 1 hour.
