Flaounes are a traditional savory pie that is similar to tiro pita and eaten in Cyrpus on Easter and afterwards. There are many different variations and I personally prefer the ones made with traditional pafitiko which is the traditional cheese that is used in the dish. I have seen many types of the recipe, some of which are made with halloumi but this recipe seems to be the best! Here is the recipe, so let me know if you like it! https://www.kopiaste.org/2008/04/easter-flaounes/

I had this once and loved it - I didn't know it was from Cyprus! Thanks for letting us know about this...

Oh wow, these are filled with cheese? I think I will love these! I'd like to try them once before I make them, though. Does anyone know where I can find them?

You probably won't be able to find them at many Greek supermarkets, unless there is someone from Cyprus who works there. If you live near a Cypriot supermarket (there aren't many outside of the UK and Cyprus) then your chance might be good. If you are in Greece or Cyprus, you will definitely be able to find them during Easter time

I have learned so much about Greek cuisine by being on this forum! I know that there are standard recipes that everyone seems to cook.
For example, you can get souvlaki all over. Everyone seems to serve a village salad with slight variations. Most regions seem to make moussaka. There are tons of others.
I have also noticed that each region has their own specialties. How do you go about learning about them?

Enjoying Cooking with Greek Honey

One of the things I love most about Greek honey is its versatility. You can use it in so many different ways in the kitchen. I've drizzled it over Greek yogurt for breakfast, mixed it into salad dressings for a touch of sweetness, and even used it as a glaze for roasted vegetables. The depth of flavor it adds to dishes is truly remarkable.
But perhaps my favorite way to use Greek honey is in baking. It adds a wonderful depth of flavor to cakes, cookies, and pastries. I recently made a batch of baklava using Greek honey, and it was a game-changer. The honey soaked into the layers of phyllo dough, creating a sweet and sticky treat that was absolutely irresistible.
I go out of my way to buy it - if I can't find it locally, I get it online. When I go to Greece, I get some in Greece, too.
