Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
Letʼs prepare the ingredients for the pie. The composition of the ingredients is quite simple: Armenian lavash, chicken eggs, cheese, milk, herbs and spices. Cheese, both hard and soft, is suitable for this pie. You can also use any greens to taste and availability: dill, green onions, sorrel, parsley, cilantro and others, or a little of everything.

Step 2

Step 2
Beat chicken eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt and ground black pepper, beat with a fork until the mixture is homogeneous in consistency. Salts need to be added depending on the type of cheese; if the cheese is salty, such as feta cheese, then you need very little salt so as not to oversalt the pie.

Step 3

Step 3
Pour milk into the egg mixture. Mix.

Step 4

Step 4
We thoroughly wash the fresh dill and parsley, dry it on a paper towel and cut it with a knife. You can use frozen greens after thawing them first. Wash the green onion, dry it and chop it finely. Add the cooked herbs to the bowl with the milk-egg mixture. Mix.

Step 5

Step 5
Grate hard cheese on a coarse or medium grater; if the cheese is soft, you can simply mash it with a fork. Place the chopped hard cheese in a bowl. Mix again. We tear the pita bread into small pieces with our hands. Place the lavash pieces in a bowl with the prepared mixture. Mix thoroughly so that the pita bread is completely immersed in the liquid. It is important that the pita bread is not dry; if necessary, reduce the amount of pita bread or, conversely, add more liquid.

Step 6

Step 6
Leave the dough for 20 minutes so that the pita bread is well saturated with moisture and swells, and the dough becomes thick. Baking form: grease the bottom and walls with butter, you can sprinkle with semolina or flour, or cover with parchment. Spoon the dough into the mold. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. We put the pie in the oven to bake for 30 minutes, but you need to focus on the operation of the oven, the size of the pie and the amount of ingredients.

Step 7

Step 7
The pie should rise slightly and brown on top. As soon as the pie is ready, remove the pie pan from the oven, let it cool slightly, place it on a plate and serve with tea, coffee or cocoa. Makes a very satisfying breakfast, a between-meal snack or a light protein dinner. Bon appetit!
