CHEESE IN OVEN (SIRENJE VO FURNA)

Melted cheese or cheese in oven is a delicious Macedonian specialty, which pizzerias and restaurants usually serve with nicely roasted crispy bread sprinkled with sesame seeds. Cheese in oven is combination of 2-3  different cheeses. If desired, mushrooms, bacon or other dried meat can be added for richer taste.

Ingredients:

• 150 g feta cheese
• 100 g white cheese (sheep cheese is the best)
• 100 g yellow cheese
• 2-3 tablespoons of tomato paste, sauce or ketchup
• 1 tablespoon sour cream
• oregano

Preparation:

You'll need 2 smaller earthen pots coated with a little butter or oil.

1. Put piece of feta cheese in the pot and spread on the bottom with a fork. Add tomato puree and a little oregano for flavor.
2. Add grated yellow cheese.
3. Add the crushed white cheese above.
4. Add the remaining grated yellow cheese on top and add some tomato paste on top.
5. Put prepared dishes in the oven at 200 degrees and bake until the cheese on top is nicely melted and gets a beautiful golden color.

Serve and taste while it's hot. Combine with warm crispy bread.
Note: if you want to add other ingredients like dried meat or mushrooms, just put them above the first layer of feta cheese and continue the preparation process as mentioned above.

Enjoy!
