👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 180°C (355°F). Grease a 20 x30 cm pan.
    ⚙ Preheating the OvenOvenBaking pan
    💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
  2. 2
    Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry the vegetables 10 minutes, until it softens.

  4. 4
    Mix the feta cheese and eggs until smooth.
  5. 5
    Add the gluten-free flour blend and mix.
  6. 6
    Add the vegetables, parsley, turmeric, nutmeg, salt and black pepper and mix.
  7. 7
    Pour into the pan and spread evenly.

    💡Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
  9. 9
    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.
