cheese pie

Baked feta dish

Cheese pie is a savory or sweet baked dish with cheese as the primary filling.

Savory versions appear in Greek cuisine (tiropita) and American Southern cooking, typically combining cheese with eggs in a pastry crust.

Sweet versions, closer to cheesecake, feature sweetened soft cheese.
