Ah, yes, what can it be? For, you see, this month’s theme is Masquerade Pie, chosen by Mary at Alpineberry and Jeanette at Jeanette’s Mommy Musings.

“Make a pie that has a secret.”

Well, here you go. What’s green and white and encased in golden filo? What is masquerading behind that plain exterior?

I had my eye on this recipe for quite some time. I’m a fan of cookbook author Beth Hensperger, and this Filo Green Tart with Fresh Dill and Feta is from her wonderful book, The Gourmet Potluck: Show-Stopping Recipes for the Buffet Table.

This pie was fantastic. The texture was great: a rich filling topped with the crispy, buttery filo. And it was sooo flavorful. I used low fat cream cheese, cottage cheese, and feta, and cut back on the butter and olive oil. I loaded up on the herbs and added a squirt of lemon juice. Even my husband, who is not a big fan of feta, loved this. Definitely on the repeat list.

Be sure to check out You Want Pies with That in the next week for the monthly roundup of Masquerade Pies! Recipe after the jump.
