Notes

  • Get good quality feta cheese. Try to find Greek feta in brine. I like the Dodoni brand, and Mt Vikos feta is also an excellent choice. It is available at local supermarkets, Whole Foods, and other specialty grocery stores. Israeli and Bulgarian feta can also be good options. 
  • Please don't get any fat-free French feta. It is not the real thing at all, and it would never be part of a Greek pantry
  • Substitute honey with maple syrup.
