Instructions
Step 1
* Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Step 2
* Carefully unfold the filo pastry sheets and brush two sheets with melted butter.
Step 3
* Place a line of thinly sliced butternut squash along the edge of the pastry.
Step 4
* Fold the pastry over to cover half of the squash.
Step 5
* Add another line of butternut squash slices, then fold the pastry again. Repeat this process once more, creating a line of pastry with layers of butternut squash inside.
Step 6
* Roll the line into a circle and place it in a round baking dish (approximately 25cm in diameter) that has been lightly buttered.
Step 7
* Repeat the layering process with the remaining pastry and butternut squash, arranging them around each other in the baking dish.
Step 8
* Using your hands, gently loosen the pastry layers in the baking dish and brush the top with the remaining melted butter. Bake for 30-35 minutes
Step 9
* While the pie is baking, prepare the milk mixture. In a bowl, combine the eggs, egg yolk, icing sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground cloves. Mix thoroughly.
Step 10
* Gradually add the hot milk to the egg mixture, whisking constantly until well combined.
Step 11
* After the filo pastry has baked, let it cool for 5 minutes. Then, sprinkle a handful of roughly chopped pecans on top, arranging them between the layers of filo.
Step 12
* Pour the milk mixture over the pie, ensuring it seeps into the layers.
Step 13
* Return the pie to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes or until the custard is set.
Step 14
* Once done, allow the pie to cool slightly, and then savour it while it's still warm.
