Pumpkin Pie

When the sweet pumpkin is blended with pure ingredients and is embraced with filo Dough by Chryssi Zymi, the result is like something out of a fairytale!

Pumpkin is one of the most unique and special Autumn vegetables. It is rich in valuable nutrients and can be incorporated in both sweet and savoury recipes, with the most popular being the Pumpkin Pie.
Pumpkin Pie is a traditional Greek pie with rich filling based mainly on sweet pumpkin and feta cheese, and which is usually served as a snack or appetizer. It is a light, nutritious and very very tasty dish.

To create autumn dishes rich in flavour and aroma, Chryssi Zymi suggests original Pumpkin Pie recipes with diverse filo sheets, such as the Whole Wheat Traditional Greek Filo, Puff Pastry sheets, Kourou dough sheets, Crust sheets or filo pastry for sweets, but also the special, ready-to-bake Filo Twist Pie (Striftari) with sweet pumpkin, raisins and walnuts.

To each one's taste, why not an appetizing pumpkin pie?

Pumpkin

With a vibrant orange colour and a rich flavour strongly connected with the autumn season, pumpkin is high in protein, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. We can use it in pies, soups and other savoury and sweet recipes.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Extra virgin olive oil is the kind of olive oil produced by natural and mechanical methods, the acidity of which, expressed in oleic acid, does not exceed 1g / 100g and has perfect aroma, taste, and high nutritional value. It is superior in quality compared to regular olive oil, which is created by mixing virgin olive oil and refined olive oil, making it organoleptically and physicochemically inferior.

tips

For a shiny, golden-brown pie crust, brush with whisked egg before baking.

If during baking, the pie crust edges get a darker colour, cover with baking paper to cook evenly.

To get your pie top and bottom equally crispy, switch to your oven’s bottom heat element for 5’ before taking it out.
