Cooking Tips and Variations
When working with fillo dough, remember to keep the sheets covered with a damp towel to prevent them from drying out as you layer. Brush each sheet with melted butter or cooking spray for that perfect flaky texture. Taking care with the fillo will ensure your crust is not only beautiful but also satisfying to bite into, elevating the entire experience of your pie.
Feel free to get creative with your cheese choices, incorporating flavorful options like feta, mozzarella, or even pepper jack to spice things up. Adding herbs like chives or parsley can also enhance the flavor profile while contributing a touch of color. Experimenting with additional ingredients can make this versatile recipe adaptable to any taste preference.
