Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make lavash pies? Prepare your food. One sheet of thin pita bread will make 4 small pies. Choose cheese that melts well. Also choose greens to your taste. I didn’t have any fresh, so I used frozen parsley and purple basil.

Step 2

Step 2
Grate the cheese on a coarse grater.

Step 3

Step 3
If the greens are fresh, wash them under running water and then dry them. Excess moisture will make the filling soggy. Then chop it finely.

Step 4

Step 4
Combine cheese and herbs. Stir. The filling is ready.

Step 5

Step 5
Take some pita bread. Cut it into long strips. The approximate size for small pies is 9-10 cm wide and 40-50 cm long. Then the filling will be wrapped securely and will not leak out during frying. It is convenient to cut pita bread with scissors.

Step 6

Step 6
Form the pies. To do this, take a strip of pita bread and put the filling on it. How much to put is at your discretion. The cheese can be laid out 2/3 of the way, it will melt and taste better. Add the juicy filling only at the beginning; it will soak the length of the pita bread.

Step 7

Step 7
Start rolling the pita bread, bending the triangle with each turn.

Step 8

Step 8
Wrap it like this until the very end of the strip. The result will be a triangular pie like this.

Step 9

Step 9
Do the same with the other strips.

Step 10

Step 10
The pies are wrapped, you can start frying them.

Step 11

Step 11
For the egg batter, crack an egg into a bowl and lightly beat it with a fork. Add a pinch of salt.

Step 12

Step 12
Heat a frying pan on the stove. Pour vegetable oil onto it. Dip each pie in egg on all sides and then place in oil in a frying pan.

Step 13

Step 13
Fry the pies over low heat until golden brown, about 2 minutes.

Step 14

Step 14
Turn the pies over to the other side and fry them as well.

Step 15

Step 15
Place the finished pies on a paper towel — it will absorb excess fat. Serve the pies immediately, hot — then they will be crispy.
