Origin and History of Alevropita
Alevropita, also known as Greek batter pie, holds a special place in the hearts of Greek food enthusiasts. Its roots can be traced back to the region of Epirus, which is known for its rich culinary heritage. This savory pie is loved for its simplicity and remarkable taste.
Ingredients for the Thin Batter Feta Pie
Creating this mouthwatering dish requires a handful of simple, yet essential ingredients. To prepare the thin batter feta pie, you will need:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 10.5 oz feta cheese, crumbled
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley or dill) for garnish (optional)
Preparing the Batter
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and greasing a round baking dish. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, eggs, milk, Greek yogurt, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Assembling the Feta Pie
Once the batter is ready, pour half of it into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly to cover the bottom. Crumble the feta cheese on top of the batter, ensuring even distribution. Gently pour the remaining batter over the feta cheese, covering it completely.
Baking to Perfection
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30-35 minutes, or until the pie turns golden brown and develops a crisp top. The aroma wafting through your kitchen will let you know it's almost time to indulge in this delightful dish.
Serving Suggestions
Once the feta pie is ready, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Cut it into generous slices and garnish with fresh herbs, such as parsley or dill, for an added pop of flavor and visual appeal. This dish can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature, making it a perfect option for gatherings or quick meals.
Pair the thin batter feta pie with a refreshing Greek salad, or serve it alongside tzatziki sauce for a truly authentic experience. The combination of flavors and textures will transport you to the enchanting streets of Epirus, where our recipe originates.
