I always do lots of research to make sure a recipe is exactly how I want; I usually try a few iterations, varying ingredients and quantities to finely tune the recipe. While making the Baked Feta recipe, I did just this - and so ended up with a lot of leftover filo! I was so cross when I opened the fridge the next day to see that I had failed to seal the filo properly, and it was completely dried out. Now, I should tell you that I hate waste. This was also a LOT of filo, and I couldn’t consider just throwing it away! So I researched some different ways to take advantage of this drier texture, and a friend then told me about this orange filo pie recipe. What a save! After experimenting a little, I found a way to create a dish that I absolutely love! One that I love so much, in fact, that I now had to find a way to quickly dry out filo on purpose…😁 Served with a little vanilla ice cream, this is an amazing sweet orange pie, and a must-try dessert!
