    Feta, Pepper and Courgette Filo Pie

    For a lighter version of a quiche, why not use filo pastry for the case and make a feta, pepper and courgette filo pie. This filo pie is filled with colourful vegetables – yellow and red peppers, red onion, courgette – and feta cheese, and is an ideal summer dish, served with salads.

    Feta, Pepper and Courgette Filo Pie  

    If the sun peeps out then I always crave lighter food and fresh salads, and my filo pie was perfect for this. The vegetables still have some bite and the crisp filo pastry snaps as you bite into it. For an even crispier base you could bake the pie in a quiche or flan dish rather than a pie dish as I used here.

    My veggie-filled filo pie was delicious for lunch on a sunny day and would also be great for a picnic.

      I nearly always have half a packet of left over filo in the freezer and love these types of dishes, so much lighter than shortcrust pastry. Thanks for sending to #ExtraVeg

      That looks delicious and sounds like a very healthy dish as well… I really need to start using filo pastry more often.

      This looks so delicious Lucy. I never bake savoury dishes with pastry. I’ve bought puff before and it’s a very quick way of making tarts etc, but this filo pie looks like something worth trying.
