What it is

Slices of authentic Circassian cheese (a semi-hard, salty, and slightly elastic cheese with a distinct flavor) grilled until beautifully golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside, with a warm, soft interior. A unique regional appetizer.

Circassian cheese, olive oil (for grilling).

Optional tweaks

Served plain, without any sweet accompaniments (e.g., fruit jam) or bread.
