6. Unroll the filo pastry and cover it with a damp towel to prevent it from drying out.

8. Place one sheet of filo pastry on the bottom of the dish, letting the edges hang over the sides.
9. Brush the sheet of filo pastry with melted butter.
10. Repeat the process with the remaining filo sheets, layering them on top of each other and brushing each sheet with melted butter.
11. Once you've layered all the filo sheets, pour the leek and feta mixture into the pie dish and spread it out evenly.
12.Fold the overhanging edges of the filo pastry back over the filling to create a border.
13. Brush the top of the filo pastry with melted butter.
14. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes or until the filo pastry is golden brown and crispy.
15. Once the pie is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
