Gibna With Tamatum or Cheese With Tomatoes

SiouxZQ's Note:

My husband brought this delightful recipe with him from Egypt. It is a quick and easy sandwich spread or it can also be used as a dip mix. We make this often since we both enjoy cheese.

heey, thaat type of cheese is my favourite, to get a perfect one add dried mint and 1 lemon..its optional anyway but it would be perfect

it's delicious, I skipped the cucumber as it makes it a little watery, and add a pinch of ground cayenne.

This has become my latest summer lunch addiction! Its fresh, cheesy, crunchy and easy to put together. I have also made it adding some dried mint and a small crushed garlic clove. Cannot buy Bulgarian feta cheese here, don't even know how that tastes or what texture it has, so I used the Greek feta that is readily available here and added olive oil to the mix.
