Ingredients

Metric US

• 1/2 kg 1/2 Potatoes (5-6 large)

• 100 g 100 Milk

• 200 g 200 Mozzarella, grated

• 200 g 200 Ham, cubed

• 1 tbsp 1 Smoked Paprika

• 100 g 100 Butter (divided in half)

• Salt and Pepper, to taste

How to make the Ham and Cheese Pie

• Peel and cut the potatoes into chunks. Blend in a food processor until smooth (or mash well).
• Transfer to a large bowl. Add milk, mozzarella, ham, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well with a spatula.
• Butter a 25×35 cm baking dish and spread mixture evenly.
• Cut half the butter (50 g) into cubes and scatter over the top.
• Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C / 390°F (bottom/top heat) for 40 minutes until golden.
• Remove from oven. Cut the remaining butter into cubes, make shallow cuts around the edges, and distribute butter pieces so they melt to the bottom.
• Return to oven and bake for another 20–25 minutes until edges are browned and crispy.
• Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Greek Ham & Cheese Pie Without Flour

Most zambonotyropites (Greek ham and cheese pies) are made with phyllo or puff pastry, but this unique recipe uses potatoes as the base instead of dough. The result is a creamy, cheesy pie that’s naturally gluten-free and loaded with flavor.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

• Gluten-Free: No flour or pastry, just creamy mashed potatoes.
• Quick Prep: Only 5 minutes of mixing before baking.
• Buttery & Crispy: Adding butter halfway through baking gives you crisp golden edges and a rich taste.

Serving Ideas

This dish is hearty enough to serve as a main with a fresh Greek salad, but it also works as a party appetizer when cut into small squares. It’s perfect for brunch, lunchboxes, or a cozy dinner.

This Greek ham and cheese pie without flour is the perfect recipe when you want something comforting yet a little different from the usual phyllo pies.
