4 from 4 votes

Alevropita, literally "flour" pie, is one of many Greek recipes for batter-and-cheese pies that are traditional in the Greek kitchen. They are sometimes called lazy pies because they are basically easy and don't need much skill to make! They are very common Greek recipes in northern Greece.
