Hot Feta from Nikos Ouzeria

Submitted by Andy Jewell

"This dish is fantastic as a starter - it looks good, tastes fabulous, costs very little and takes no time at all to make. In October we went to Thessaloniki and while there visited the fabulous Modiarna Market. Nikos Ouzeria in the market is our favourite lunch spot but this time they gave us something very different among the Mezes. I begged the receipe from them and here it is."
