Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 °C and grate the courgettes, then sprinkle them with salt and let them drain for 15 minutes.
- Squeeze the courgettes to remove their water, then mix them with the grated onion, the beaten eggs, the crumbled feta and the chopped herbs.
- Oil an ovenproof dish, lay down one sheet of phyllo, brush it with olive oil, then repeat with 3 sheets stacked on top of each other.
- Spread the courgette filling over the pastry, then cover with the last 3 oiled sheets of phyllo, one by one.
- Cut the surface into diamonds, then bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the pastry is nicely golden.
- Let it cool for 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
Variations and tips
Mint-only version. Use only fresh mint, without dill, for a fresher, spring-like taste.
