Dough and Filling

Method

Preparation and Assembly

1

Prepare the Dough

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

2

Prepare the Filling

In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped leeks until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and stir in the grated Metsovone cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3

Assemble the Peinirli

Fill each dough boat with the spinach and cheese mixture. Create a small indentation in the center of each filling and crack an egg into the indentation. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

4

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the dough is golden and the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny.

5

Serve

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
