ingredients
- 4 slices crusty bread, from a dense loaf (like sourdough)

- 8 ounces feta (approximately)
- 1 large tomatoes
- 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh oregano leaves (or 1 tsp dried)
- fresh ground black pepper
directions
- Brush both sides of each bread slice with some oil. Cut enough 1/4-inch-thick slices from feta to cover 2 slices of bread and cut tomato into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Assemble 2 sandwiches with feta and tomato slices, seasoning filling with oregano and LOTS of pepper.
- In a 12-inch nonstick skillet heat 1 tablespoon oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and cook sandwiches until golden, about 2 minutes on each side.
- Variation: Adding sliced or chopped Kalamata olives is a delicious addition.
- Note: This is a grilled sandwich that is delicious served at room temperature too.

Delicious! We made it into more of a veggie sandwich by added some sauteed zucchini and sliced onion, and dipped it in balsamic vinegar (or could also drizzle it over the tomatoes). We also didn't have alot of the feta cheese, so we crumbled it over the tomato and loved the taste blend. Didn't have crusty bread, so we grilled both sides of two hot dog buns (soft potato bread type buns local to PA Dutch Country where we live), and the end result was reminiscent of Isaac's pretzel bread sandwiches--yum! -
We had this sandwich at a lovely cafe and decided would like to try making ourselves. Recipe was great and sandwich was delicious added a little balsamic vinegar on side. Thank you for recipe -
This was the best sandwich I've had in a long time. I used 3.5oz feta for 1 sandwich, which I found to be perfect. I will be making this often! -
Yumm, so easy, tastes like a $12 sandwich at a bistro. Goes well in a george foreman grill or pannini grill also! I crumbled feta which takes a little longer to melt but is just as good.

I added some spinach to this and used mayo instead of olive oil on the inside of the sandwiches. The verdict? Best. Sandwich. Ever! Thanks so much!

Very tasty sandwhich! I have to tell you though; the first time i made it i accidentally used butter instead of oil to "grease" the frying pan with. That gave the sandwhich a strange flavor. So be sure to use oil as directions state. I also had used low fat feta and i think that made the consistency difficult to melt. I re-made it the RIGHT way, and it was superb. Very tasty and this is something i will be adding to my lunch menu. Thanks.

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
