Greek pie with feta cheese and meat
Description
Homemade pastry for tea. Greek pie with feta cheese and meat is a delicious and completely standalone dish perfect for everyday meals or a small family celebration. It can be accompanied by a vegetable and herb platter or fresh salad. You can use any meat you prefer, as long as it's not too fatty. I use ready-made store-bought puff pastry, but you can easily make it from scratch. Serve with tea or coffee.

Step 1
1. Pass the beef meat through a meat grinder. Heat olive oil in a skillet and fry the minced meat, stirring, for about 10 minutes. Transfer the cooked meat to a bowl. Peel the onion and cut into medium cubes. Add a couple of tablespoons of oil to the same skillet used for the meat, then sauté the onion for 5 minutes.

2. Cut the feta cheese into small cubes. Finely chop the herbs. Add fried onion, chopped herbs, and feta to the minced meat, then add eggs, season with pepper and salt to taste. Mix well. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Roll out half of the ready-made puff pastry and transfer it onto the paper. Spread the filling over it. Cover with the second part of the pastry, also rolled out into a thin layer. Top the pie with a pastry sheet. Brush the surface with olive oil and prick it in several places, for example with a fork.
