Feta Cheese a La Bansko

Bansko is a mountain resort town in Bulgaria so, you have guessed it right, one more entry from the Bulgarian National Cuisine cookbook.

• Ready In: 40 mins
• Serves: 5

Ingredients

• 1  lb feta cheese (preferably from ewe's milk)
• 2  tomatoes (about 5 oz)
• 1⁄2 cup butter
• 2  chilies (chopped)
• 5  eggs
• 1  cup soda water (just plain soda water with no flavor or sweeteners)
• 1⁄2 teaspoon paprika
•  black pepper

Directions

1. Crush the feta cheese, or cut it into slices, and place it in a terracotta dish with a lid. If you do not have one, use a lidded disposable aluminium dish.
2. Arrange the sliced tomatoes, butter, and chilies over it.
3. Cover the dish and bake for about 10 minutes.
4. Beat the eggs with the soda water; pour over the cheese and tomatoes.
5. Cover again and bake until the surface of the eggs becomes yellow and cooked.
6. Serve sprinkled with paprika and black pepper.
7. NOTE: Instead of chopping the chilies, you could place them whole over the egg mixture and let them bake with it. However, that will mean adding 3 more so there be one chili in each serving.
