Ingredients

2 sheets of puff pastry
4–5 colorful bell peppers, diced
1 onion, finely chopped
1 leek, finely chopped
300 g feta cheese, crumbled
2 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
2 tablespoons dill, finely chopped
Salt
Pepper
Olive oil

Instructions

Prepare the Filling:
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Sauté the onion and leek until softened.
Add the bell peppers, a pinch of salt, and continue sautéing until the peppers are tender.
Stir in the dill, parsley, feta cheese, and pepper. Mix well and set aside to cool.
Once cooled, add the beaten eggs and mix thoroughly.
Prepare the Puff Pastry:
Roll out the puff pastry sheets slightly on a floured surface to make them thinner.
Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil and lay one sheet of puff pastry inside, ensuring it covers the sides of the dish.
Assemble the Pie:
Spread the pepper mixture evenly over the bottom layer of puff pastry.
Place the second sheet of puff pastry on top, tucking in the edges neatly.
Use a fork to prick small holes in the top layer to allow steam to escape during baking.
Bake:
Preheat your oven to 170–180°C (340–355°F).
Bake the pie for approximately 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
