Very easy cheese pie from Constantinople with peppers
A cheese pie that you will love
I tried it for the first time at Natasha’s house and since then I “adopted” it because it is easy to make, it is delicious and aromatic. The women of Constantinopple prepared it often, especially in the jour fixe, when they hosted hosted their girlfriends. Sometimes instead of red or green pepper they put sun-dried tomatoes that work wonders. In fact, if you have a little chicken left over, you will have a delicious chicken cheese pie. Also at the festivities their presence at the table was essential.
I really like this cheese pie and I often serve it with a rich green salad and it is a light and healthy lunch.
Your children and friends will appreciate it.
