Different ways to use friganies (Greek wheat rusks)

[kosta_karapinotis]

Greek wheat rusks can be used for a number of things! Many people use them as a substitute for toast and will use various spreads such as butter, jam or cheese on top. You can also use wheat rusks as a bread crumb coating for a number of recipes and also use them as a more savoury crust for a number of dessert recipes such as cheesecake. My grandma used to use them as a thickener for her keftedakia (meatballs) but if you are able, they usually taste better with just meat!

I have a hard time finding these in the US but when I am on Crete especially, I love getting Dakos at restaurants. It's sooo good. I would love to recreate Dakos at home here in the US but I can't always find rusks. I love reading about the other uses for them!

You can find them at the Greek stores or order them online at Titan foods or Amazon. You can find both rusks (fryganies) and dakos (paximadia) on Amazon.

I love dakos, but Im not a huge fan of friganies, they kind of just crumble apart every time I eat them
