Time 1h

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb butternut squash, peeled and grated (about 2+ cups)
1/2 lb feta cheese, crumbled
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup milk
1/3 cup olive oil (extra for greasing the pan)
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
2 cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • In a large bowl mix the milk, egg, feta (save a little for sprinkling on top later), olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Add the grated butternut and mix well.
  • Add the flour gradually until the dough is thickish (note that the original recipe called for 3 cups of flour, but we found this to be too dense. If 2 cups doesn't seem enough, add some more).
  • Empty the dough into a greased pan. It should be less than 1 inch high.
  • Sprinkle some crumbled feta on top.
  • Bake for 45 minutes (a bit longer if you use more than 2 cups of flour). Then let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
