Greek Pumpkin, Feta and Sage Pie (Kolokithopita)

4 servings

30 minutes

Kolokithopita is a traditional Greek pie made with pumpkin, feta, and sage that embodies the rich flavors of Mediterranean cuisine. Its roots run deep in the history of Greek gastronomy, where the combination of sweet pumpkin and salty feta became a symbol of flavor harmony. The crispy phyllo dough soaked in olive oil forms delicate layers enclosing a fragrant filling. The light spiciness of sage adds sophistication, and the pie's structure makes it perfect for both cozy family dinners and festive gatherings. Kolokithopita can be served hot or cold, accompanied by Greek yogurt or honey to highlight its unique character.
