That's pretty cool! Thanks for sharing! We had this at our meeting last night, and also decided it's pretty huge. In fact, we could've easily doubled the bread for it!
We thought that, for a show, a host could offer veggies to serve with it, as well as the bread, for both variety and to show additional tools...crinkle cutter, simple additions, etc.
Blessings,
Paula

Is there anyone out there that's made this version and the old Athenian version (in the Celebrate cookbook)? Comparison notes please? The old one adds pressed garlic...I'm thinking I'll add it to the new recipe...'cause who doesn't love garlic in their Greek food? :chef:
I'm making this at my bites & bevs show on Monday night. I love that I'll be able to share that quick tip about the pasta!! Thanks!

I made this for our TEAM meeting last night...went over so well!
I had leftovers, so this morning I made a one egg omlet and added some of the leftovers! Greek Cheesy Omlet! YUM!
This was super easy to make! Garlic would be be a good addition, as would some finely chopped red onion. Honestly, though, it doesn't "need" a thing!
I think I will have some of the leftovers spread on Triscuits...
