My husband brought this delightful recipe with him from Egypt. It is a quick and easy sandwich spread or it can also be used as a dip mix. We make this often since we both enjoy cheese.

Ingredients

8 ounces bulgarian feta cheese
2 roma tomatoes, finely chopped
1 cucumber, finely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)
3-4 pita breads, warmed and cut in half

Directions

1
Use a fork to mash the cheese in a medium mixing bowl.
2
Add the tomatoes and cucumber.
3
Mix well.
4
Add in some of the oil if the mixture is too dry.
5
Fill each half pita bread to eat as a sandwich or serve the dip and pitas as an appetizer.

I used regular (greek) feta cheese, since thats all I could find. I didn't need to use any oil, and it was so tasty! Very light and fresh tasting, yet a filling lunch. Thanks for the great recipe!

it's delicious, I skipped the cucumber as it makes it a little watery, and add a pinch of ground cayenne.

This has become my latest summer lunch addiction! Its fresh, cheesy, crunchy and easy to put together. I have also made it adding some dried mint and a small crushed garlic clove. Cannot buy Bulgarian feta cheese here, don't even know how that tastes or what texture it has, so I used the Greek feta that is readily available here and added olive oil to the mix.
