Greek pies

Arniopita is a Greek Lamb Pie I made with yeasted dough, filled with leftover roasted lamb with potatoes, corn and thickened with a bechamel sauce.

Creased Cheese Pie is a different Greek pie called Patsavouropita (pronounced. pah-tsah-vou-RHO-pee-ta), which is very easy to make and tastes amazing.   This Greek pie is made by creasing each phyllo sheet and dipping it in a batter made with soda water, eggs and feta.

Greek “Spanakopita” (spinach pie), pronounced (spa-nah- KOH -pee-taa), is possibly the most popular Greek pie, made with spinach, aromatic herbs and feta cheese. 

This Zucchini Flowers Pie with Peppermint is perfect as a main dish with a salad or you can cut smaller pieces and serve it as an appetizer or a side dish.

Tyropita (pronounced tee- ROH -pee-ta) from tyri = cheese and pita = pie and Strifti (pronounced stri-FTEE), which means twisted. It takes it’s name from the way the cheese pie is shaped.

Plastos, which is a type of pita (pie) from Thessaly, is a much easier version of spanakopita without phyllo, made with spinach and corn meal, which is equally delicious.  

Agginaropita is a delicious Greek pie made with artichokes and leeks.  It is is great for lunch with a salad and leftovers can be eaten for breakfast or brunch.
