Crustless Pumpkin Pie with Feta
🇬🇷 Greece
Ingredients
- 3 cups grated pumpkin, unsqueezed (or squash)
- 2â…“ cups crumbled feta cheese
- 1 cup olive oil, plus extra to drizzle on top
- 1 cup milk
- 3 cups all purpose flour, or as needed to form a thick batter
- ground pepper
- fine semolina, for sprinkling top and bottom (optional)
Steps
- Preheat oven to 180°C (360°F).
- Squeeze the grated pumpkin well by hand to remove excess moisture, then place it in a bowl.
- Add the milk and olive oil to the pumpkin and stir to combine. Season with ground pepper.
- Gradually stir in the flour until a thick batter forms.
- Reserve about ¼ of the feta cheese (about 80 grams) for topping. Stir the rest into the batter.
- Brush a round 36 cm (14-inch) pan, or similarly sized square pan, with olive oil, then lightly sprinkle with semolina or breadcrumbs to help absorb moisture and ease removal.
- Spread the batter evenly in the pan to about 1½ cm (¾ inch) thick for a crispy pie.
- Sprinkle the reserved feta on top, drizzle with olive oil, and lightly sprinkle with 1-2 tablespoons of semolina for extra crunch.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, until the top is golden and crispy.
- Cut into about 20 square pieces and serve.
