Preparation

• 1 Prepare the filling 🌶️ Add roasted peppers, feta, cottage cheese, eggs, parsley, dill, garlic, yogurt, salt, black pepper, and paprika to a bowl.
• 2 Mix gently 🧀 Stir until creamy but still slightly chunky. The filling should be spoonable, not watery.
• 3 Prepare the phyllo 🥟 Heat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Brush a round baking dish or tray with olive oil.
• 4 Fill the first sheets ✨ Place 2 phyllo sheets on the counter, lightly brush with olive oil, then spread a thin line of filling along one long edge.
• 5 Roll into a spiral 🌀 Roll the phyllo into a long tube, then curl it into the center of the baking dish.
• 6 Build the pie 🥧 Repeat with the remaining phyllo and filling, wrapping each new roll around the center spiral until the dish is full.
• 7 Add the egg wash 🌶️ Whisk egg, yogurt, olive oil, and paprika. Brush it over the top so the pie bakes golden and glossy.
• 8 Bake until crisp 🔥 Bake for 35–40 min, until the phyllo is deeply golden, crisp at the edges, and set in the center.
• 9 Make the drizzle 🌿 Mix yogurt, dill, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until smooth and fresh.
• 10 Rest and serve 🍽️ Let the pie rest for 10 min, then slice and serve warm with dill yogurt drizzle, tomato salad, cucumber, and extra herbs.
