I'm a big fan of Greek food and this recipe is no exception. The combination of flavors is perfect. I love the crispy cheese and the tangy lemon sauce.

This is one of my favorite Greek recipes. It's so simple to make, but it's always a crowd-pleaser. I love the salty flavor of the cheese paired with the tartness of the lemon and the brininess of the olives.
