Batzina -- Greek Crustless Butternut Pie

Submitted by lecole54

"This recipe, which is more like a dense cake than pie, appeared in our local paper, The Bangor Daily News. The original source was olivetomato.com"

 

• Ready In: 1hr
• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 6-8

ingredients

• 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

directions

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. 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.
3. Add the grated butternut and mix well.
4. 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).
5. Empty the dough into a greased pan. It should be less than 1 inch high.
6. Sprinkle some crumbled feta on top.
7. 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.
