Feta cheese pie (not) baked in embers

When we witnessed this feta cheese pie baked in embers during filming for My Greek Table, we were transfixed! This ancient way of baking over hot coals using a copper or steel dome as a makeshift portable oven is something that the shepherds of Epirus have been doing for hundreds of years, if not longer. It is one of the many feta cheese filo pies, aka tyropita, made in Epirus and, indeed, all over Greece. This recipe is a version you can make at home.
