Preparation
Dough: Mix flour, oil, salt, and raki. Gradually add water until a smooth, non-sticky dough forms. Let it rest for 30 minutes.
Filling: Combine feta cheese with the egg and finely chopped mint.
Shaping: Roll out the dough thinly and cut out circles (approx. 10 cm). Place a spoonful of filling in the center, fold over, and press the edges together with a fork.
Cooking: Fry in a pan with olive oil until golden brown or bake in the oven at 180°C for about 20 minutes.
To Finish: Drizzle with honey while still warm.
Why this dish is so healthy
The secret lies in the simplicity and quality of the ingredients:
Goat and sheep cheese: Mizithra is easier to digest than cow's milk cheese and is rich in high-quality protein and calcium.
Olive oil: The dough is traditionally made with extra virgin olive oil, which provides valuable unsaturated fatty acids.
No artificial additives: Pure natural products ensure a high nutrient density without hidden preservatives.
What makes this dish so special?
It's the balance of textures and flavors. The dough is crispy and slightly tangy (often due to lemon in the dough), while the filling is creamy and mild. A special touch: In Greece, it's often served with a drizzle of honey (e.g., from Erotokritos), creating a fascinating interplay between salty and sweet.
Who is this dish suitable for?
Vegetarians: An excellent source of protein.
Families: Children love the convenient size and mild flavor.
Gourmets: A sophisticated appetizer (meze) for any Mediterranean evening.
Zero-waste tip: How can you enjoy this recipe while also being kind to the environment?
Leftover cheese: Do you have any leftover mizithra? Use it as a creamy topping for your salad or mix it into scrambled eggs.
Leftover dough: Roll out leftover dough thinly, brush with olive oil and herbs, and bake as crispy crackers.
Packaging: Buy your cheese and honey in glass containers that you can later reuse for spices or household supplies.
Tip
A dry, fruity white wine like Malagouzia pairs well with this.
Enjoy!
