Phyllo with Minced Meat

Golden phyllo filled with seasoned minced meat and a creamy egg-and-milk mixture.

Ingredients
  • 1/2 lb
    minced meat, cooked with onion, salt, pepper, and freshly grated nutmeg
  • Phyllo dough
  • 1
    stick butter, melted
  • 1
    large egg
  • 1 cup
    milk

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

  • Grease a 9 × 13-inch Pyrex baking dish with some melted butter.

  • Lay one sheet of phyllo in the dish and brush lightly with butter. Repeat, layering the phyllo and brushing each sheet with butter.

  • When you have used about half of the phyllo, spread the cooled minced meat evenly over the pastry.

  • Continue layering the remaining phyllo sheets, brushing each one with butter.

  • Cut the pastry into squares or diamond shapes before adding the liquid mixture.

  • Whisk the egg with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Add the milk and mix well.

  • Pour the mixture evenly over the prepared phyllo.

  • Let the dish rest at room temperature for at least 1 hour.

  • Bake for 30–45 minutes, or until beautifully golden.

  • Turn off the oven and leave the dish inside for another 10 minutes.

  • Remove, serve, and enjoy warm.
