Greek Cheese Pie
the dough : 3 cups all purpose flour 1 cup warm water 2 tbl oil 1/2 tsp oregano dash of salt
mix ingredients; knead for about 2-3 minutes; adding flour to until it doesn't stick to the hands - separate into 3 equal parts
the filling : a couple of chopped green shallots (can replace with 1/3 white onion) 1/3 cup finely chopped parsley 2 cups feta cheese , crumbled 1/3 cup freshly grated romano cheese 1/2 cup whole milk or half & half 3 eggs salt, pepper, thyme
beat eggs;mix all other ingredients; heat in pot until cheese starts melting;allow to cool to room temperature; then mix in eggs
the assembly : roll out the 3 dough balls- so that each one is a bit bigger than your baking pan (i use 8x12 in.)- the amount of dough, for that size will give you the right thickness
place the first layer on the greased pan, with ends hanging over the pan rim - add half the filling. follow on with the second dough layer -add the rest of the filling. finish off with the last dough layer; fold the dough layers together. pluck a few holes, making sure you go through the second layer of dough.
bake for 3/4 hour at 400F
