- Grease the sides and bottom of the pan and set aside.
- Combine the wet ingredients (yogurt, Kasseri cheese, Kefalotyri cheese, oil, eggs, and lemon juice).
- In another bowl, sift together the cornmeal with the flour, baking soda, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix until it is a soft, batter-like dough.
- Spread the batter in the pan and smooth with the spatula.
- Sprinkle with the Feta cheese and scatter the pieces of butter evenly over the top of the batter.
- Bake for 40 minutes, or until it is a deep golden brown. If it gets too brown before the 40 minutes are up, cover with aluminum foil and continue baking.
- Allow to cool 15 minutes before serving.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I joined Recipezaar to learn new recipes that are home cooked. I grew up having ready-meals like Encor and Stouffers and needed recipes that don't simply require opening a box and plopping in the oven! I enjoy cooking when I have the time to try new dishes. I make every recipe as written if I'm reviewing it to give a true review. If I make alterations that aren't in the directions, I don't feel it's a true reflection of the recipe; it's another recipe to me.
