August 1, 2023June 28, 2023by Karen ClaassenLeave a Comment

1 box phyllo pastry
125g butter, melted
300g feta cheese, crumbled
200ml sour cream
3 eggs
100ml milk
30ml black sesame seeds

Preheat your oven to 180℃ and brush a 18cm x 26cm ceramic dish with melted butter.
Crinkle together two sheets of phyllo pastry by folding them like an accordion. Place them against the longer side of the dish.
Repeat with the remaining pastry and keep stacking the crinkled sheets until the dish is filled and you have no phyllo left.
Take a butter knife and open up/space the crinkles of the pastry evenly within the dish.
Place the pastry in the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
Remove from the oven and drizzle over the melted butter.
Put the dish back into the oven and bake for another 10 minutes.
Crumble the feta in to a bowl and set aside.
Add the eggs and sour cream to another bowl, whisk together and pour over the feta.
Add the milk and whisk everything together.
Pour the mixture evenly over the stacked phyllo sheets and sprinkle the sesame seeds over.
Nudge the side of the pastry with a spatula to distribute the custard evenly on the sides of the dish.
Bake the pie for 40 minutes and serve immediately.

The instructions are for one portion/person.

1 large tomato
2 eggs

Slice the ends off the tomatoes so that you have straight edges.
Place the tomato on one of the straight edges and halve it horizontally.
Cut out the flesh on the inside so that you are left with 2 tomato rings.
Place a frying pan on medium-high heat, add a splash of vegetable oil and place the tomato rings in the pan.
Cook for 2 minutes, until warm and flip around.
Now break an egg in each tomato ring, season with salt and pepper and place a lid on the pan.
Cook until the egg is set to your liking and serve at once.
