Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Combine all ingerdients and let sit 2-4 hours for flavor to develop.
  2. This can be made and spread on bread as is though is most commonly and traditionally placed onto the surface of a pita-type dough and pushed into the surface before baking. PLEASE DO NOT use feta cheese. It is not used and is far too salty for this.
  3. In Morocco we do not see pita breas so we use a bread like MY ROUGH KHOUBZ which is posted here on zaar.
  4. The thyme is used in some countries in up to 2 teaspoons It depends on your own tolerance for it and I like it as a forward flavor but not to overpower.
  5. You can use stor bought pita bread and place the cheese onto the top of that, pushing slightly so it stays on and bake in a 375 degree oven until hot, approximately 8-10 minutes.
  6. This makes approximately 2 cups of cheese mix.
