Best way to use Myzithra?

I recently picked up a nice wedge of myzithra cheese from a local Greek market—semi-hard, salty, and beautifully aged. I’ve used it a couple of times grated over pasta, which was delicious, but I’m curious what other traditional or creative ways you all enjoy it.

I know there’s a fresh version and a dry aged one, this one is definitely the dry, crumbly type. Are there regional dishes that really highlight its flavor? I’ve heard of it being used in pies, but I’m not sure how it’s prepared—does it pair well with spinach, like in spanakopita, or is it better on its own?

Frying Saganaki the Right Way?

I love saganaki. There’s nothing better than that golden, crispy cheese with a squeeze of lemon. I always order it at Greek restaurants, but I’ve never actually tried making it myself at home. I’m finally ready to give it a shot and could really use some tips!

What’s the best type of cheese to use? I’ve heard of kefalograviera and kasseri, but I’m not sure which gives the best result. Also, how do you keep it from melting into a puddle or sticking to the pan?

Do you dredge it in flour or something else? Olive oil or another type of oil for frying? And how do you get that perfect crispy edge without burning it?

Greek tomato rice - tomatorizo with fresh tomatoes?

Believe it or not, I’m about to have the first of my early-season tomatoes, maybe a week out! I got the plant from a local greenhouse, so it was a bit further along, and now I’m finally seeing ripe ones. I’d love to make domatorizo (Greek tomato rice) with them.

I’ve only ever made it with canned tomatoes or passata, but this time I want to go all in with the fresh ones from my garden. Do you peel and grate them, or just chop and cook them down? Any tips for getting that rich flavor without overcooking the rice? Do you sauté the rice first or add it straight in?

Would love a tried-and-true method—especially if it’s how your mom or yiayia made it. I want to honor the tomatoes and keep it simple. Thanks!

Homemade Gyro Meat?

I absolutely love gyros, but I’ve never been a fan of the store-bought meat—it always tastes a bit too processed for me. I’m thinking about trying to make my own gyro meat at home, but I’m not sure where to start. Is it as simple as roasting a leg of lamb and carving thin slices? Or is there a better way to get that classic texture and flavor?

I’ve seen some people use a mix of lamb and beef, ground and packed tightly into a loaf pan. Others say the key is in the spices and pressing the meat after cooking. I’m open to experimenting, but I’d love to hear what’s worked for others.

Which cheeses do you put in your tiropita?

I've made tiropita many times over the years and it always disappears fast, but I’ll admit—I’ve gotten into a bit of a rut with the cheese filling. I always use feta (of course), and believe it or not, I mix in cottage cheese. It actually gives it a nice creaminess and works well with the feta’s saltiness, but I’m curious to experiment with some other options.

What cheeses do you like to use in your tiropita? Have you ever used anthotyro, manouri, or graviera? I’ve seen people use ricotta or even cream cheese, but I haven’t tried those yet. I’m looking for a combo that’s still traditional, but maybe with a little twist—something that elevates the flavor or texture without making it too rich or heavy. Would love to hear your favorite blends or secret ingredients!
