Method

  1. Set the oven to 200 degrees celsius.

  4. Place a sheet of phyllo dough on the bottom of the mold and brush the entire sheet with melted butter.

  6. Add a new sheet, brush with butter, and continue like this until you have nine phyllo dough at the bottom.
  7. Chop the pistachios and spread over the phyllo dough and distribute it so that it is even. Press down a little with the palm of your hand.
  8. Continue to lay sheet by sheet of phyllo dough on top of the filling. It is important to brush well with butter between the layers.
