Instructions
Sesame bread
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Beat eggs until fluffy. Add cream cheese and oil and mix well.
- Add remaining ingredients except the sesame seeds.
- Spread out the dough on a baking sheet (9" x 13" or 20 x 30 cm) greased with butter or lined with parchment paper.
- Let sit for 5 minutes. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds and a touch of sea salt. Bake for about 30 minutes or until golden brown on top, and not doughy in the middle.
Turkish baked shrimp
- Keep the oven going at 400°F (200°C).
- Finely chop tomatoes, green bell peppers and garlic and sauté in olive oil.
- Add tomato paste and a few tablespoons of water and let simmer for a few minutes.
- Add dill, salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- If you're using raw shrimp, fry them in oil for a couple of minutes on each side. Otherwise put directly in a baking dish and cover with the tomato sauce.
- Top with crumbled feta cheese and olive oil. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes and serve immediately with freshly baked sesame bread.
Tip!
The bread keeps in the fridge for 2-3 days. You can also freeze it for a quick and easy future treat. Reheat it in a warm oven or microwave. You can even use the toaster for additional crispiness!
