A tall sandwich pie, wrapped in dough from top to bottom. If you want to work less (and lose weight), you can omit the dough and bake only the filling for a successful pie.

½ 2 cups flour

½ teaspoon salt

About 1/3 cup very cold water

1/3 package soft margarine

To fill:

2 large eggplants

250 grams of goat cheese for spreading 5% Zuriel Farm (2 cups)

30 grams very soft butter

250 grams of Bulgarian cheese 5% from Tsuriel Farm, crumbled with a fork

250 grams of grated yellow cheese

2 medium onions

2-3 tablespoons bread crumbs – optional

Pepper, salt (a little, the cheeses contain salt!)

How to prepare?

1. Roast the eggplant (in the oven or on the gas) until soft. Cool slightly, peel, and mash the flesh into a bowl.

2. Meanwhile, place the flour, salt, water, and diced margarine in a food processor and process until the dough is elastic and not sticky. If the dough is too dry, add a few drops of water. Place in the freezer for 15 minutes.

3. Add the cheeses and butter, mashed with a fork, finely chopped onion and spices to the eggplants, and mix well. If the dough is too soft, add breadcrumbs.

4. Remove the dough ball from the freezer and divide it into 2. Flatten one half of the dough on baking paper in a pan, remove from the pan and set aside. Flatten the other half in the pan without baking paper according to the shape of the pan, so that it also covers the sides.

5. Bake the dough in the pan for 10-12 minutes in a preheated oven at medium heat (180°C) until golden brown, and remove from the oven.

6. Spread the filling over the dough, cover with the top sheet, and pierce it with a toothpick in several places to allow the hot air to be released during baking.

7. Bake in a preheated oven at medium-high heat (200 degrees C) for 40-50 minutes, until the pie is golden brown.

8. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for about 15 minutes. Slice into squares (in a pie pan, slice into triangles from the center outwards).

Serve hot - recommended with white sauce or mushrooms.
