Description
Savory Crinkle Pie is a crisp, flaky phyllo pastry layered with a rich, creamy egg and cheese filling. It bakes into golden perfection, making it ideal for brunch, dinner, or entertaining.
Ingredients
1 package phyllo dough, thawed
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
3 large eggs
1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
- Scrunch one sheet of phyllo dough lengthwise into a loose accordion shape and place it into the baking dish. Repeat with remaining sheets, arranging them side by side.
- Brush the top generously with melted butter, coating the ridges well. Bake for 15 minutes until lightly golden and crisp.
- In a bowl, whisk together milk, heavy cream, eggs, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
- Remove the dish from the oven and pour the egg mixture evenly over the baked phyllo.
- Sprinkle feta, mozzarella, and Parmesan evenly over the top.
- Return to the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes until golden brown and set in the center.
- Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
Add cooked spinach, mushrooms, or sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor.
Swap mozzarella with cheddar or Gruyère for a deeper taste.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley, dill, or green onions before serving.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) to maintain crispness; avoid microwaving.
