Delicious sounding. How can you go wrong with cheese and olives?. Kasseri is a greek cheese made from either sheep's or goat's milk; it has a sharp, salty flavor and a cheddar-like texture. Ingredients:
2/3 cup kalamata olive (pitted and quartered) |
12 ounces kasseri cheese (or scamorze cheese) |
2 tablespoons snipped fresh oregano |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes |
french bread, apple slices or cracker |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees; cut cheese into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
2. Layer cheese in the bottom of a shallow 1-quart quiche dish or a 9-inch pie plate, overlapping if necessary.
3. Toss together the olives, oregano, garlic, and red pepper.
4. Sprinkle over the cheese.
5. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until cheese just begins to melt.
6. Serve immediately on bread, apples, or crackers; rewarm cheese as needed.
