How to Make Peasants Tomato Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cut phyllo sheets in half crosswise. You should have approximately 10-12 half sheets depending on your phyllo package size.
  3. Lightly brush one half of a phyllo sheet with 1 teaspoon melted butter, then brush the other half with 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard. Repeat with remaining phyllo sheets, layering them slightly overlapping each other on a baking sheet.
  4. Gently place the layered phyllo sheets on a baking sheet (approximately 12x16 inches) and tuck in any overhanging edges.
  5. Layer 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese over the phyllo base. Arrange 2 cups sliced fresh tomatoes on top, slightly overlapping.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 clove minced garlic, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon dried basil. Drizzle evenly over the pie.
  7. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy! Feel free to experiment with additions like thinly sliced mushrooms (1 cup), sun-dried tomato slivers (1/4 cup), or anchovies (2-4 fillets) for extra flavor.
