Cooking method

• Delicate dough, juicy filling ... but what is there? You have to try it !!!
• The pie is large - the products are based on a 33 x 27 cm mold. I took a 26 cm mold, it turned out to be tall and plump!
• For greasing and dusting:
• Beat 1 egg with 1 tbsp. l. vegetable oil
• 3 tbsp. l. sesame seeds
• 1. Mix all dough products and knead to a homogeneous dough. Its consistency is quite soft, and try not to add flour (I literally added a tablespoon). Wrap with cling film and refrigerate for an hour.
• 2. While the dough is in the refrigerator - prepare the filling. Eggplants (I have two eggplants weighed 460 grams) cut lengthwise into two halves and bake on the oven rack (200 degrees 20-30 minutes). Allow to cool, peel off, cut into small cubes. Grate cheese on a coarse grater. Crumble the cheese, knead the cottage cheese, finely chop the greens, boil the potatoes and knead. Prepare the filling by mixing all the ingredients.
• Cheese, cottage cheese and feta cheese can be in different proportions, but the total weight should be 650 grams. Greens can also be taken in different ways. I took parsley, green onions, celery leaves, basil, dill ... It's good that summer !!!
• 3. Heat the oven to 180 degrees. Divide the dough into two parts: one third and two thirds. Roll out two thirds of the dough into a rectangle and transfer to a greased pan. Press to the bottom and sides. Here is the most interesting thing ... This dough cannot be rolled out with a rolling pin just like that, so they came up with a trick: Place a ball of dough between two sheets of baking paper and roll it over the sheet. I did that with the top. She rolled it out, and then transferred it to the pie, helping to quietly separate the dough from the sheet with a scraper. And with the lower part, I did it easier. She kneaded it with her hands in a detachable form, forming high sides to the edge of the form.
• 4. Put the filling on the dough and smooth it out. Roll the remaining third of the dough into a rectangle, cover the filling and pinch the edges.
• 5. Grease the pie with an egg, prick with a fork in several places, sprinkle with sesame seeds and place in the oven. Bake for 45 - 50 minutes, or until the top is well browned. Remove from oven, let cool until warm, and eat !!!
• 
• This pie can be eaten all day ... In the morning - with sweet coffee, for lunch or dinner with a portion of green salad or a glass of wine. Arrange a holiday for your beloved and yourself !!! Do you have a favorite? Then what are you sitting on? No? Bake - it will be !!!
• Now I am sitting with my mouth full and thinking - maybe I was a Balkan in my past life?
• PS By the same principle, you can make an open casserole with mushrooms and cheese. The dough can be kneaded with or without an egg. If you use a ceramic refractory mold, then first bake a basket of dough - not completely, but at least 7-10 minutes. The fact is that such forms conduct heat worse, and the filling is wet, but the bottom needs to be baked. While the dough base is baking, prepare the filling: mix grated cheese of one or different types (about 100 g), mushrooms cut into slices from a jar (if any, I add fresh mushrooms), about half a glass of cream, 2 eggs, finely chopped herbs, salt and pepper. Pour the mixture into the baked base mold and place in the oven for about an hour.

Happened

Here is my handsome pie -

Help yourself!

Thanks again!!!

Thank you!!!

The pie is just awesome !!! In the kitchen, there was such an aroma during baking - words cannot convey. The husband did not believe that the pie with eggplant, cheese and feta cheese is such an unusual combination of all tastes and aromas. The husband is not a big fan of eggplants, and this pie was almost all eaten for lunch. So believe when they say that someone does not like some kind of vegetable

The pie was in the oven for a long time. Probably more than an hour. The top is well browned. I pulled it out of the mold, and it turned out that the bottom was still very light (probably because of the cupcake mold; maybe if the mold were flatter, it baked faster next time I would try another). I was afraid that the pie was not ready yet, I covered it with foil on top and in the oven. He stood for another 10 minutes and then everything was OK. Since I baked in the evening, I felt very sorry for him immediately being so handsome ...

Alisik, I had a similar story ... My son-in-law doesn’t eat a lot of food, but then he came home from work and ate half of the pie at once, then he asks - what is this delicious from?

Gashenka, here's modified the look of the cake.
Children's version in the form of a bear

Gasechka, do not read further without validol
Once I already made your pie, though the cheese poured from the heart, hammered all the taste, but ... it was very tasty. Eggplant is bored in the refrigerator, tired, no one eats. I solved them again in a pie, and there ...
Flour (only 100 grams, over, pancake) added pea (which was)
Sour cream on the bottom (brought to 150 grams with water)
Oh, don't read, beauty, what I did with your cake!
There is no cottage cheese at all, the store is 40 minutes on foot - I won't go!
But there are potatoes, eggplants in unmeasured quantities, cheese, feta cheese and raw green peas.
There was not enough flour, the dough turned out to be more than liquid, so the pie is open. But how delicious it is !!!!!!
Thank you, dear, for the recipe from me and my family. I went out for a camera for a second - the piece is gone, and no one confesses, only suspiciously protruding cheeks

Thank you for the wonderful report !!! Has suffered a plus sign!

And here is my Balkan one ... Also, the adventures of Cheese, cottage cheese, cheese were about equally divided, each gram of 100 grams (how much was ...), butter 70 grams (well, how many was), the eggplants are really in order, but frozen from the fall. The dill is also frozen, nothing else was dug out of the greens in the freezer ... And the rest, well, everything is according to the recipe! Thank you, dear, it was very tasty for us True, some said that they did not like eggplants very much, and that next time they did it with mushrooms ... But this was already after the fact, having handed over an empty plate ...





Gashenka, while eating it seemed that the filling was a little dry ...Is it because there is not enough cheese and feta cheese? Or because the eggplants were frozen? How to make the filling more juicy?

[BlackHairedGirl]

BlackHairedGirl, my filling was well sooo juicy ... Maybe because there was much more cheese-cottage cheese, maybe because of unfrozen products

Most likely, yes, the food is frozen ... The freezer did not dry it out, but deprived it of juiciness. I’ll repeat, and now, by the way, I’ll also put butter in the dough according to the recipe ... And maybe pour some extra cream on it, plus those two eggs according to the recipe? What do you think?

I think that first try to take cheese-cottage cheese in the right quantity

This is the idea! My family missed your pie, but only bite eggplants in the store. Well done, the BlackHairedGirl family, you can do it with mushrooms. I will definitely do it!

I cooked it, it looks just handsome (y) I think it tastes too. I was ready to eat the filling without a pie, only the presence of raw eggs in it stopped
Later I will report on the assessment of the family and show my pie

Making money !!! Where's the pie, eh?

This is the second time I have baked the pie. Here is his photo and I'll show it, though I sprinkled it with seeds because the sesame is over. And with the photo of the first one, as with everyone else on my computer, trouble happened, they disappeared

The pie is just awesomely delicious. My husband and I fought together with him both times and very quickly overpowered. I also added fried onions to the filling for the second time. Eating Thank you once again, a huge human for the recipe

For some reason, it was not inserted into the previous message

Natasha, very nice pie !!! And thank you and my husband for your kind words and good appetite !!!

[Gasha]

Gasha, thanks for the recipe! The cake is very tasty. I just didn't sprinkle it with sesame seeds, since it was not there at that time.

Natasha, how beautiful !!! To your health!
