Reinvigorate summer with our fun Feta Nachos recipe.

The frenzy of September is upon us – school is in session, schedules are back on, the pace is faster and we’re not quite ready to give up on summer fun. Well, you don’t have to. You’ve heard of Taco Tuesdays, but have you heard of Feta Fusion Fridays!?

Our nachos recipe is a great healthy after-school snack or meal and it’s so easy to do. Your kids can help assemble and dinner is ready in just a few minutes. It’s also makes a simple party appetizer, too.

For this easy recipe, you’ll need a variety of fresh or canned ingredients, like tomatoes, corn, black beans, cilantro and some Krinos favourites: Krinos Kalamata Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Krinos Roasted red peppers, Krinos Pure Greek Oregano and of course, Krinos Feta cheese, crumbled. Nachos are homemade too, by the way.

To start, pre-heat the oven to 350°f (180°c). To make the homemade nachos, using Lebanese style pocket pita, cut each into 6 pieces, and separate the layers. You’ll need about 8 pitas, but if you have a lot of people to feed, add more. Place on baking sheet, brush with olive oil and season with oregano and salt. Bake for 8 minutes or until pita chips are lightly golden and crispy. Set aside. (If you’d like, you can make a big batch of these nacho/pita chips to use as part of school lunches, or a quick bite. They’re delish.)

Then, on a parchment-lined baking sheet, add 1/3 of the pita chips and sprinkle with crumbled Krinos Feta cheese, diced tomatoes, corn niblets, chopped roasted red peppers and black beans. Add two more layers, following the same pattern.

Bake for 10-12 minutes and sprinkle with fresh cilantro (optional). Serve with guacamole and/or sour cream.

If you’d like to kick the protein up a notch, add grilled chicken on top of the nachos. It’s a great way to start the weekend.

We love our Feta Fusion Fridays but we want to know the best nachos you’ve ever had. Share your favourites with us!

Looking for a treat both you and your kids can enjoy – you control the ingredients and it doesn’t require any cooking? Brace yourself ‘cause our sweet and chewy bars made with Attiki Greek Liquid Honey and packed with yummy goodness like shredded coconut, oats, peanut butter and nuts are exactly what you need.

This wholesome sweet treat is so easy to make even the kids can help. Bring them into the kitchen before summer comes to an end and spend some quality time baking, laughing and then sampling, of course.

To start, line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of unsweetened shredded coconut, 2 cups of large flake oats, 1 cup of natural smooth peanut butter, ½ cup of natural raw almonds, roughly chopped, ½ cup of shelled raw pistachios, ¼ cup of roasted unsalted cashews, roughly chopped, and 150 ml of Attiki Greek Liquid Honey. Mix well, and if it’s too difficult, use a stand mixer.

Press entire mixture into pan. Sprinkle an additional ¼ cup of cashews and ¼ cup of dark chocolate chips, pressing lightly. In a glass measuring cup, microwave 3 tbsp. of honey for 15 seconds and drizzle over the top of the mixture. Refrigerate for 1 hour or more. Cut into squares and enjoy! See? We told you it was easy.

(While this isn’t a back-to-school friendly treat, we love that you can control all the sugar content, making this snack a delicious and healthy one. If you or your child has nut allergies, try substituting various dried fruits and alternative butters – and share your creations! We’re certain they’ll still be delicious with Attiki honey!)

Krinos echoes the obsession for savory waffles ‘gourmands’ have been going gaga for the last few years; that’s why we made our own waffle recipe worth raving about. With a combination of vibrant Feta cheese, Attiki honey and chili flakes, our Sweet & Savory Feta & Herb waffle recipe is a fun take on a breakfast classic you can enjoy any time of day. These waffles pack big, punchy flavours and will certainly tantalize the taste buds.

You’ll need a waffle iron for the recipe, but any foodie will tell you it’s worth the investment – just think of the recipe possibilities. Before you start baking, pre-heat the iron and in a small bowl, warm the Attiki honey in the microwave for 30 seconds and stir in 1 tsp. of chili flakes (optional, but we encourage!). Set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, 2 tsp. of baking powder, 1 tsp. of Krinos Pure Greek Oregano and ¼ tsp. of salt. In another bowl –we know, but we promise it’s worth it—combine 1 egg beaten, 1 ½ cup of 2% milk and 1/3 cup of vegetable oil. Add flour mixture and whisk gently to combine. Fold in 1 cup of Krinos Feta Cheese, crumbled, and 2 tbsp. of chopped basil.

Spray waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray and proceed to make waffles, using about ½ cup of batter per waffle. You should end up with 12 waffles. Top each waffle with additional crumbled Feta and drizzle with chili infused Attiki honey. (If you chose not to add chili flakes, you’ll just drizzle plain Attiki honey, which, we promise, is still delicious!)

Make it a Meal: To make this waffle dish even more substantial, top with a piece of fried chicken!

Tasty Tip: It also goes great with a dollop of tzatziki!

There’s a lot more to avocado than guacamole. Avocados are more versatile than people think; they’re adaptable to sweet and savoury recipes and can be eaten raw, baked or even grilled. That’s right – grilled. Packed with healthy fats and fibre, the buttery smooth avocado is the right inspiration for this light recipe.

Some of the best BBQ recipes are the unexpected ones and our Grilled Avocado recipe will definitely surprise you. Combined with a colourful feta salsa fresca and you have a perfect summer dish. Note: this feta cheese appetizer can be made in advance and stored in the fridge, served separately, or as an accompaniment to other dishes, too.

To start, cut avocados lengthwise, and remove pit and skin. Brush each avocado with lemon juice and 1 tbsp. of Krinos Kalamata Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Place avocado halves flat side down on the grill, and grill for 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside. Note: the avocados can’t be too ripe or they’ll fall apart on the grill.

To make the Feta Salsa Fresca, in a medium-sized bowl, combine diced tomatoes, yellow pepper, onion, cilantro and jalapeno. Cilantro has a very distinctive taste, and many aren’t fans. We are, so we include it, but if you’re not – leave it out.

Gently fold in Krinos Organic Feta cheese — drained, patted dry and crumbled. Fill the cavities of the avocados, mounting slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve on a buffet table, as a side to an entrée or salad. Optional: drizzle with hot sauce for some extra punch.

Emergency go-to dinner. We all need one.

Maybe you’re out of groceries, or you forgot to take something out of the freezer, you’re rushed for time, or worse, the dinner you made didn’t turn out as expected.

Our 15-minute Shrimp dinner is so easy you’ll hardly believe it; and with nothing to prep, there’s no doubt it’ll become your perfect “in a pinch” meal.

Start with deveined shrimp. Don’t have fresh? Use frozen, just thaw them first. Leave head and tail intact and place in a Pyrex baking pan. Season with salt and pepper.

Add 1/2 cup of olive oil, 2-3 ripe tomatoes, finely chopped, 2 tbsp of pitted kalamata olives, crumbled feta and chopped parsley. Give the mixture a toss and bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes.

That’s it! Serve warm and take a breath — crisis averted.

Enjoy your dinner.
