Soft cheese (ricotta or Bulgarian) with eggs, a little flour and baking powder, yellow cheese and herbs, poured into a pan and baked until set and golden; usually with a vegetable (spinach, leek, broccoli, zucchini, squash) cooked, grated and squeezed, or fried, and sometimes with mashed potatoes or fried onion. Or vegetables and cheese in layers, with eggs and cream poured over them.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (355°F). Grease a 24 cm pan.

💡Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
6
Let cool 10 minutes before cutting.
💡Resting before cutting sets the pie: cut straight out of the oven, it is still soft inside and the slices fall apart.
