A No-Phyllo Greek Pie Anyone Can Make

This Greek shepherd’s pie without phyllo is inspired by traditional rural cooking, where simplicity mattered more than perfection. Instead of rolling or layering dough, everything is mixed in one bowl — making it ideal for busy home cooks.

Greek yogurt gives the pie moisture and structure, while feta and hard cheese provide bold, salty flavor. Fresh herbs like parsley and mint lift the richness, and colorful peppers add sweetness and texture.

Perfect for Any Meal

This pie works beautifully as:

• A family dinner
• A make-ahead lunch
• A vegetarian main dish
• A potluck or picnic recipe

It holds its shape well, slices cleanly, and tastes even better the next day.

Helpful Baking Tips

• Use full-fat yogurt for best texture.
• Don’t overmix the batter — stir just until combined.
• Let the pie rest 10–15 minutes before slicing.
