Instructions

  1. Crumble the mizithra into a bowl to get a grainy, airy texture.
  2. Add the lemon juice and gently mix to give it a touch of acidity.
  3. Stir in half the olive oil and season with salt and white pepper.
  4. Lightly toast the bread slices in the oven or in a dry pan.
  5. Spread the cheese on the bread, drizzle with the remaining olive oil and sprinkle with oregano.
  6. Serve right away, while the bread is still warm.

Variations and tips

Using what's easy to find. Drained ricotta gives a very similar texture and is easy to find in any supermarket.
