Ingredients

1/4 cup, plus 2 teaspoons unsalted butter, softened
3 large eggs
2 cups crumbled feta or Manouri
1/4 cup grated Kefalotyri or Parmesan
1/2 cup strained Greek yogurt, or plain yogurt drained in a fine mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth, until thick
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Pinch nutmeg

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Grease a 10-inch spring form pan with 2 teaspoons of the butter and set aside.

In a large bowl, cream the butter. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating well after the addition of each. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Pour into the prepared pan and bake until set and golden brown, about 45 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Cut into squares and serve.

Fantastic and easy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My husband gave me the highest compliment on this one. He said, "This is restaurant quality." From him, that's a big... compliment! This was super easy to make and tasty. I used Feta. The Mediterranean Market didn't have the other Greek cheese.Read more

Cheesy Goodness

This is a side dish...unless you accompany it with some sort of vegetable and starch. So good, I couldn't stop!

Easy and Delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My husband is Greek, so I'm always trying to cook him Greek foods. The problem is that many of his favorite dishes are... time-intensive (i.e. spanikopita, tyropita, etc.). I tried this dish, and he absolutely loved it! It goes great as a side dish with lamb or beef. The kefalotyri cheese is what makes it so good. It's also good reheated for breakfast!Read more
