Making this ahead and freezing it worked wonderfully! I took it out of the freezer the day before I would be baking it. When it was time to put it in the oven I draped a piece of foil over the top for the first half hour and increased the baking time to 1 hour and 15 minutes. It was a hit and I will be making it again and again.

What an amazing recipe! I made it Christmas morning for a vegan holiday lunch in which we were entertaining vegan friends. My husband is an omnivore, and he LOVED this dish. We all LOVED this dish. It was not hard to make, although handling filo dough for the first time was a bit challenging. This is now one of my favorites that I will make frequently. I'm having leftovers for dinner tonight...and I'm counting the hours until then.

My Vegan Nephew will be very impressed; infact I think everyone will be!
