Ingredients

Scale

Custard Filling

  • 1 can (14 oz) condensed milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Filo Pastry

  • 12–15 sheets filo pastry
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Custard Filling: Whisk together the eggs, condensed milk, optional splash of milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy, forming the luscious custard base for the pie.
  2. Ready the Filo Pastry: If frozen, gently thaw filo pastry sheets and keep them covered with a damp cloth to prevent drying. Brush each sheet lightly with melted butter before stacking to ensure a crisp, golden finish.
  3. Assemble the Pie: In a greased baking pan, layer half of the filo sheets, brushing each sheet with melted butter. Pour the custard filling evenly over the layered pastry. Top with the remaining filo sheets, each brushed with butter, creating a layered sandwich of filo and custard.
  4. Bake Until Golden: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the filo is crisp, flaky, golden, and the custard is set. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
  5. Cool Before Serving: Allow the pie to cool completely so the custard firms up further, making it easier to slice and enhancing flavor melding.

Notes

  • Brush each filo layer thoroughly with butter to keep the pastry crisp and prevent sogginess.
  • Keep unused filo sheets covered with a damp cloth to avoid drying and tearing.
  • Avoid overfilling with custard to ensure even baking and prevent leaks.
  • Use fresh eggs for optimal custard texture and taste.
  • Check oven temperature accuracy to avoid burning or underbaking the filo.
