Cheese-filled puff pastry pie

Description

This pie can be made with puff pastry (store-bought or homemade) or filo dough. The recipe comes to us from Greece, so feta cheese is used in the original version, although I think it can be replaced with other cheese varieties. The pie turns out very tasty and light. And if your dough is not frozen, preparation will take less than an hour. It can be served with tea or coffee.
