  • 4 ounces Feta Cheese Crumbled

Notes

Choosing Feta Cheese for this recipe

Choose a Bulgarian or Greek sheep's milk feta.  It is creamier than domestic cow's-milk versions. 
Choose block feta in brine, not already crumbled.  The crumbled will dry out without being in brine.
When you're ready to use the feta, cut the amount you want to use and set in a bowl of water.  Let it soak for about 10 to 15 minutes. This will remove the sharpness from the brine in the cheese.
