Ham And Cheese Phyllo Pie

Ham and cheese pie is made in many different recipes. Sometimes we can use ingredients that we already bought, and often we put ingredients that are currently in the refrigerator. I especially like to make quick pies. The ones that doesn’t require hours of choosing ingredients at the market. To make this pie I grated ham and cheese, added sour cream and mixed everything. Placed the mixture in phyllo pastry dough and in the oven. And everyone was happy. Pie can be served for lunch or dinner. 

Ingredients:

• 9 sheets phyllo dough
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 baking powder /2 teaspoons/
• 1 dl / 1/3 cup/ oil

• 5 pickles
• 50g /2.5 oz/ bacon
• 100ml / ½ cup/ sour cream
• 100g /3.5 oz/ cheese
• Salt

Directions:

1.    Grate 5 pickles and ham. Cut bacon into slices. 

2.    Whisk the eggs in a deep bowl and add flour, cream, cheese and baking powder. Mix everything together. Add half teaspoon of salt. 

3.    Mix in it grated ham, bacon and pickles. 

4.    If the mixture is too thick add milk. It needs to be thicker than the mass for pancakes and waffles.

Next to sea bream, bass is the most valued fish in the Adriatic Sea. Sea bass is a predator that can survive in different and extreme conditions, and quickly adapt. It can grow to a 1 meter length, and achieve 15 kilo of weight, though these specimens are very rare. Mostly caught sea bass has less than 1 kilo. Usually it can be found in ports, next to the pears, and one of the most favorite places for sea bass is river deltas.
