Upon my return from Greece this summer, I had to create this simple ham and cheese recipe for my kids. They would grab a Zambonopita at the local bakery every other day on our vacation. The one sold in Greek bakeries is the more traditional version, made with frozen phyllo.

Greek Ham and Cheese Pie

Ham and cheese are such delicious ingredients for a pie. I like to cut this pie into small squares and serve it as a scrumptious appetizer that on one can resist. A vegetarian version of this is my Easy Vegetable Pie or my Crustless Zucchini Feta Pie.

In this recipe I incorporated cottage cheese to up the protein content. A great substitute for the cottage cheese is Greek yogurt, sour cream or ricotta cheese. For the flour, any type works. Make the pie with gluten free all purpose flour or almond flour to keep it gluten free.

Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup (210 g) cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk, of choice
  • 2 tbs olive oil
  • 1 cup (125 g) flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • salt + pepper, to taste
  • 5 oz (145 g) feta, crumbled
  • 1 cup (112 g) shredded mozzarella
  • 7 oz (200 g) sliced deli ham, cubed
  • 1 tbs grated parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350℉ or 175℃. Line an 9×13 inch baking pan/dish with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, milk and olive oil until smooth. Sift in the flour, baking powder, salt and pepper to taste and mix to combine (don't over mix). Lastly fold in the ham, feta and mozzarella. Transfer the mixture to your baking dish and spread out evenly with a rubber spatula. Sprinkle the top with the grated parmesan and spray top with olive oil or brush lightly with olive oil. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until top is golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and allow to set in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. I slice this pie into 12 equal squares.
