Instructions:
| Step | Instruction | Time |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). | 0 mins |
| 2 | In a large bowl, combine the tomato sauce & mushrooms, chopped leek, drained corn niblets, fresh rosemary, and dried rosemary. Mix well. | 15 mins |
| 3 | Place one sheet of phyllo pastry lengthwise on a cookie sheet. Keep the remaining sheets covered with a damp cloth to prevent drying out. Lightly brush the sheet with melted butter. | 20 mins |
| 4 | Layer another sheet of phyllo pastry on top of the first one and brush with butter. Repeat until you have 5 layers of phyllo. | 22 mins |
| 5 | Spoon the filling mixture onto the center of the layered phyllo, mounding it slightly toward the middle. | 25 mins |
| 6 | Place the sixth sheet of phyllo over the filling and repeat the layering process with 5 more sheets, brushing each layer with butter. Ensure the filling is completely covered. | 27 mins |
| 7 | Carefully grasp the edges of the phyllo and roll them towards the center, creating a circular pie shape with the filling enclosed inside. | 30 mins |
| 8 | Brush the top of the pie with any remaining melted butter, ensuring it’s evenly coated. | 35 mins |
| 9 | Bake the pie in the preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes or until the phyllo crust is golden brown and crisp. | 40 mins |
| 10 | Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice it into 4-6 wedges and serve immediately. | 45 mins |
