This was really good. I made only half and found a suitable substitute for the feta because we don't like goat cheese. It was full of flavor as it is, but I'm thinking some fresh basil or thyme would be a nice addition. Thanks! Made for Swizzle Chicks and ZWT6.

Very nice dish. We had small pieces of this served with olives, sliced tomatoes and cucumbers for breakfast. We really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Made for ZWT6.
