Ingredients:

4 sheets puff pastry
1000g
6 eggs
300g
1/2 cup water
120g
2 zucchini
600g
3/4 cup feta cheese
170g
2 tbsp dill
30g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Puff Pastry:
- Take the puff pastry sheets out of the freezer to allow them to thaw. It’s best to follow the instructions on the packaging for this step.
3. Prepare the Zucchini:
- Wash the zucchini thoroughly.
- Grate the zucchini using a coarse grater.
- Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture. This will prevent the pie from becoming too watery.
4. Prepare the Egg Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the 6 eggs.
- Add 1/2 cup water to the eggs and whisk until fully combined.
- Add the crumbled feta cheese and chopped dill to the egg mixture. Mix well.
- Finally, fold in the grated zucchini and ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
5. Assemble the Pie:
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out each sheet of puff pastry slightly to fit your baking dish. You can use a 9x13 inch (23x33 cm) baking dish for this pie.
- Place one sheet of puff pastry on the bottom of the dish, making sure it covers the entire base and sides.
- Pour the zucchini, feta, and egg mixture into the dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Cover with another sheet of puff pastry, pressing the edges to seal. Trim any excess pastry if necessary.
- Repeat this layer process with the remaining pastry sheets and filling, finishing with a final layer of puff pastry on top.
- If you like, you can create a decorative design with the top pastry layer using a knife to score patterns, but be sure not to cut all the way through.
6. Bake the Pie:
- Brush the top layer of the puff pastry with a bit of beaten egg or water to promote browning.
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed. The filling should be set and cooked through.
7. Cool and Serve:
- Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm, and enjoy your delicious zucchini and feta pie!

Tips:

- Keep your puff pastry cold until you're ready to use it to ensure it stays flaky and doesn't become too soft. If it does start to soften, put it back in the refrigerator for a few minutes.

- Grate or thinly slice the zucchini to ensure it cooks evenly within the pie. You can also lightly salt the zucchini before adding it to the filling to help remove excess moisture.

- Experiment with additional herbs or spices, such as oregano or thyme, to add more complexity to the flavor of your pie.

- Pre-bake the bottom layer of puff pastry for a few minutes to prevent it from becoming soggy when you add the filling.
