Greek Bouyourdi. AKA oven-baked feta cheese. Yup. It’s pretty much the best thing since sliced bread.* This delicious and super easy 10 step appetizer or side dish is mouth-watering and is as authentic as you could get for Greek food. It is pretty much on every menu in Greece and you really can’t go wrong wherever you get it.
Dolmadakias. Dolmades. Dolmas. Simply put – Greek stuffed grape leaves. I love these little things! I mean, just look at them. So cute and so flavorful. Little stuffed pockets of rice mixed with fragrant herbs… all rolled inside a grape leaf. And bonus! They’re vegan! But you can add minced meat to them if you’d like. They go both ways.
“Bakla-what?!”, You may ask? Baklava (Bak-la-va) is a very popular Greek and middle-eastern dessert, and I’m so in love with it! So, what is it? Baklava is deliciously rich and gooey – loaded with sweet honey and nuts nestled between layers of crispy pastry dough called Phyllo. It’s a bite-sized, flakey dessert that leaves your fingers an absolute mess. Sounds delicious, doesn’t it?
