About the dish

Translated as honey pie , this light Greek dessert is traditionally associated with the island of Sifnos, but its varieties can be found in other Greek regions as well. The pie combines fresh cheese, preferably mizithra based on sheep or goat milk, eggs, and honey, and it is usually baked as a round, crustless cake. It is recommended to garnish melopita with a sprinkle of cinnamon and an additional drizzle of honey.
