Feta and Tomato Creased Phyllo Cheese Pie (Patsavouropita) :) Feta and Tomato Creased Phyllo Cheese Pie (Patsavouropita) :)
This is the easiest Cheese Pie that anyone can make, even someone who is just starting out in the kitchen. I had some left over phyllo in the freezer, which I completely forgot about and found it this morning. 🙂 Took me a while to figure out what to do with such limited ingredients, tomatoes, feta and phyllo, but then I remembered a recipe my mom used to make with tomatoes and Feta cheese. 🙂There is always Feta Cheese in the refrigerator, (not original too expensive and hard to find, but there is something quite similar to Feta Cheese). and a few tomatoes on hand. This pie actually has the taste of Pizza and Greek Cheese Pie (Tyropitta) combined…quite different taste but ohhh so yummy to eat. Foodzesty -

Greek Custard Pie (Bougatsa) Greek Custard Pie (Bougatsa)
I’ve been working on my baking skills this week, mainly because the holidays are coming up. I haven’t made any Christmas Cookies or Cakes these past few years, so as I’m sitting here thinking what should I add to my Christmas baking list. 🙂I have wanted to make this pastry for a while and I found Semolina at the supermarket so I gave it try yesterday and it turned out so creamy and delicious. This Custard pie a popular breakfast pastry in Greece as the bagel is in the US…:) This pie’s origin is from Northern Greece a city called Serres, and become very popular in Thessaloniki and then expanded to the rest of Greece. It is eaten warm with sugar powder and cinnamon sprinkled all over. Yummmyyyy!!! I forgot to mention that there is also another version of this pastry with a cheese filling.. I have tried it but it reminds me of eating a Cheese puff (Tyropita) rather than the sweet taste of custard…:)You can find shops/bakeries all around Greece that are open from very early in the morning for the morning rush hour, but there are shops that are open 24/7 for those who have been out late night and just wanted to eat something other than Souvlaki :). Just a few ingredients are needed for this delicious sweet pastry. Hope you enjoy 🙂 Foodzesty -

Spanakopita with Feta (Spinach Pie with Feta Cheese) Spanakopita with Feta (Spinach Pie with Feta Cheese)
Hi Everyone!! I wanted to share with you this Spinach Pie recipe that my mom gave me many moons ago. I remember it was hard to find Greek products in our area, so once a month we had a day trip to Astoria. Wow!!! that was a long time ago, anyway we would go to this little Greek Deli Store to buy what she needed for the month. She always had a list ready, (and she still does today) with the usual products. Feta, Coffee, Olives, Oil, classic right! I know!! :0Till this day, whenever I go back to Greece to visit my mom, we go to Athens City Center into the old market area…have a cup of coffee, catch up on things, and then go shopping. In Athens the old Deli’s stores still exist with the cheeses, and spices in huge barrels, sausages, you can even find a huge variety of peanuts, I can go on and on but there are just too many products to write down.So, now for the recipe….:) Hope you enjoy making it!!!
