You could make a lovely au gratin, even though its not a Greek recipe you can make its little more Greek style by adding oregano and garlic

Creamy au Gratin Potatoes
Au gratin potatoes made with thinly sliced potatoes and onions baked in a decadently rich and creamy Cheddar cheese sauce until tender and bubbling.
The Cretan graviera Greek cheese is amazing (great suggestion to use this cheese in making au gratin potatoes):

Saganaki with graviera is amazing, also you can use it grated on pasta bakes. We usually add it to bechamel sauce for pasticcio and moussaka.
Since you like it uncooked, try some honey drizzled on top!

This cheese is great because of how it melts. I would experiment with it. I made a grilled cheese sandwich with it once and it was AMAZING.

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?

I've recently embarked on a culinary quest to explore the rich and diverse world of Greek cheeses. From the tangy feta found in traditional Greek salads to the sizzling delights of halloumi, Greece's cheese culture seems incredibly vast and flavorful. 
I'm reaching out to this knowledgeable community to ask: What are the most famous Greek cheeses that you've tried or heard of?
Are there any particular varieties that are a must-try or any hidden gems that rarely escape the borders of Greece? And if you have any delicious recipes or pairings to share, I'd love to hear about those too!
