What types of food are served for a Greek-style brunch? I have heard from some people that brunch has become somewhat popular in certain areas of Greece. Is this really true? If it is true what do people serve? My family never did "Greek brunch" and I barely eat breakfast, but I thought it would be fun to try some of these foods.

I did some preliminary research and I found that the following foods are often served:

  • Greek yogurt with honey and walnuts
  • Omelets
  • Scrambled eggs with tomato
  • tiro pita
I am asking because I plan to have a Greek brunch party soon but I want to try some of the foods first.
 
I agree with your choices. I might also serve loukaniko! I know in Greece there are a lot of omelets. I would experiment with different combinations of omelets, all with Greek ingredients. Like olives, feta, oregano, tomatoes and whatever produce is in season... etc... you can also work with different kinds of Greek cheeses.
 
Greek-style brunch sounds delightful! I've never experienced it firsthand, but I can imagine the flavors must be amazing. Reminds me of a cozy morning at a local pizza place where we decided to switch things up and try Greek-inspired dishes. We sampled Greek yogurt with honey and walnuts, paired with fluffy omelets and scrambled eggs with tomatoes. It was a refreshing twist to our usual brunch routine!

How to learn about different regional cuisines in Greece?

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?

Can you make your own rusks?

I love Cretan Dakos!
There's something about the combination of the crunchy rusk soaked with the juice of ripe tomatoes, topped with fresh cheese and olive oil, that has me hooked!

However, given that I live in an area where it's challenging to find authentic Cretan rusks, I'm contemplating on whether I can bake my own at home. I'm curious if anyone here has attempted to make rusks suitable for dakos from scratch.

I know I can order then online. I tried this, and they didn't survive the shipping too well.

Traditional Greek soups in Greece?

Most of the Greeks I know are from the United States - so it's been a few generations since a lot of them spent extended time in Greece.

From what I understand, Greek cuisine kind of changes. From what I can tell, in the United States, the most popular soup is Egg and Lemon soup (avgolemono) but in Greece, I don't see to as much or rather, hear of it as much.

What are the most famous Greek cheeses?

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!
