Instructions
Line a 20x30 cm (8”x12”) baking dish with baking paper and keep it aside.
Beat the eggs together with the sugar until white and fluffy.
Add the yogurt and lemon zest and keep beating until incorporated.
Brush each sheet of filo pastry with melted butter and layer them one on top of the other. Make 6 layers and put them in the lined baking dish.
Pour 1/3 of the yogurt and egg mixture on the filo pastry. Top with 6 more filo pastry layers.
Pour 1/3 of the yogurt and egg mixture on the filo pastry. Top with 6 more filo pastry layers.
Pour the remaining 1/3 of the yogurt and egg mixture on the filo pastry.
Pierce the pie with a sharp knife in a few places (this will prevent it from rising).
Bake it in a pre-heated oven at 200°C – 390°F until golden brown and cooked through.
When ready, let it cool down. Cut in squares and serve at room temperature.
