Pastichio with Feta Cheese
A meatless baked macaroni with feta, a milk and egg custard, and a soft bread crumb and cheese crust.
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb macaroni cooked and drained
- 1/4 cup butter melted, plus more for the pan
- 1/2 lb feta cheese crumbled
- 2 cups milk
- 3 to 4 eggs well-beaten
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs divided
- 1/2 cup grated cheese (kefalotiri) divided
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Grease a 10-inch square baking pan with butter and sprinkle it with some of the bread crumbs and grated cheese.
- Combine the macaroni with the melted butter and crumbled feta cheese. Place in the pan and sprinkle the top with bread crumbs and grated cheese.
- Add the milk to the well-beaten eggs, then carefully pour the mixture over the macaroni. Sprinkle the top with the remaining grated cheese.
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned. The moistened layer of bread crumbs and grated cheese forms a soft crust when baked.
