You can eat this pie as main dish accompanied with tzatziki. It is the perfect side dish for this pie!

Pastry sheets should be kept refrigerated until the time of their use, because they get softened very quickly and become unwieldy. Of course if you roll your own pie sheets you get a tastier pie!
