- 1
Beat the oil with the water and salt and add just enough flour to make a soft malleable, oily dough.
- 2
Prick eggplants with a fork and turn under the broiler until they are soft inside. Put into a colander and peel eggplants. Smash the flesh of the eggplant in the colander to release juices, press to drain them.
- 3
In a bowl, mix eggplant pulp with feta cheese and kashkaval, mix well. Salt and pepper as desired.
- 4
Divide pastry into 2 balls, roll each one out thin and cut into 10-cm (4 inch) rounds. You will not need flour for rolling -- the dough does not stick.
- 5
Top each round with 1 heaping tablespoon of filling, fold round over and crimp edges. Place pies on a baking sheet, brush with egg glaze mixture. Sprinkle with grated cheese if desired.
- 6
Bake 350F for 35 minutes or until lightly browned. If desired, can make one large pie by rolling out 2 large crusts from dough. If doing so, add 2 beaten eggs to the filling.
