Kefalotyri cheese

Chicken breast in an envelope, baked with vegetables and cheese, is a dish that combines the juiciness of meat, aromatic spices, and the tenderness of melted cheese. Its roots go back to Russian cuisine, where baking in envelopes helps preserve the richness of flavors. Vegetables soaked in chicken juices and spices create a harmonious blend of freshness and spiciness. The tender breast infused with herbs and olive oil becomes soft and melts in the mouth, while cheese adds richness and an appetizing texture to the dish. It is an ideal option for a family dinner or a light festive meal that combines simplicity of preparation with exquisite taste. It should be served immediately after baking, lightly drizzled with oil for a special aroma.

Pastitsio with Provençal herbs is a Greek casserole that combines the cozy texture of ziti pasta, a rich meat sauce, and a delicate yogurt cream.

The scent of bay leaves, nutmeg, and aromatic red wine adds depth to the flavor. The gooey cheese layer of kefalotyri and cheddar makes the texture rich and satisfying. Pastitsio is perfect for cozy family lunches or festive dinners, and its velvety structure and harmony of spices captivate from the very first bite.
