I’ve heard a lot about Moroccan bastilla, but I’ve never made it. What’s the best way to prepare this savory and sweet pie?

To make bastilla, start with a filling of spiced chicken or pigeon mixed with almonds, cinnamon, and eggs. The secret is to layer thin sheets of warqa pastry and alternate between sweet and savory ingredients before baking it until crispy.

Bastilla is a combination of shredded chicken, eggs, and spiced almonds wrapped in warqa or phyllo dough. Brush each layer with butter for extra crispiness, and dust the top with powdered sugar and cinnamon before serving.

For a quick version, use store-bought phyllo dough instead of traditional warqa. Make sure to bake until golden and crisp, and don’t skip the final dusting of sugar and cinnamon—it’s key to the unique flavor.
