Watch our step-by-step filo pastry pie recipe to find out how to work with filo pastry and delicious spinach and ricotta pastry pie.
1. To make a filo pie, carefully unroll filo pastry. Take one sheet of pastry and brush generously all over with some melted butter.
2. Gently press filo, butter side down, into a loose bottom cake tin. The pastry needs to sit over sides.
3. Brush butter over another sheet of pastry and put in tin, at 90° to first sheet. Repeat so that there are 3 or 4 layers in tin. Spoon in filling.
4. Pull sides into middle, scrunched up so that pastry has some texture. It’s okay if filo doesn’t cover filling - butter some more sheets of filo and press over top of pie, enough to well cover any gaps, so that filling isn’t showing.
5. Put tin on a baking sheet and brush top with a little more melted butter. Cook at 180°C (160°C fan) mark 4 according to recipe, until pastry is crisp and golden brown.
