Welcome to Episode 15 of My Big Fat Greek Christmas 🎅🏼🎄Today, we are making Easy Brown Butter Dinner Rolls stuffed with Zaatar, Sumac and Feta!

Before anyone says anything… yes, I brushed them with too much egg wash, which caused the base of the pan to burn… a sad life.

Be sure to follow 👩🏻‍🍳🔪 @foodbymaria 🔪👩🏻‍🍳 so you never miss a Greek recipe!

These comforting Easy Dinner Rolls with brown butter are perfect for your friends and/or family. They pair great with any dish or even on their own. I love the smell of them baking in my oven, and this recipe is a good one to have in your back pocket.

The nice thing about these rolls is that they can be elevated or enjoyed as a simple, classic dinner roll. Stuff them or don’t; the choice is truly yours. Either way, you will enjoy the most delicious, buttery, fluffy, perfect dinner rolls this holiday season.

Use them as a vessel for your gravy and leftovers or enjoy them slathered with your favourite French butter.

🕊️🫒👩🏻‍🍳Comment ‘recipe’ below if you want the recipe for my Creamy Goat Cheese Dip with Warm Olives!! It will be sent directly to your DM’s or tap the link in my bio to access our website. 🕊️🫒👩🏻‍🍳

Welcome to Episode 14 of My Big Fat Greek Christmas, a series in which I share Holiday recipes from my Greek Childhood and ways you can elevate your holiday traditions with some Greek flare! Today, we are making this delicious Goat cheese Dip with Warm Olives.

Be sure to follow 👩🏻‍🍳🔪 @foodbymaria 🔪👩🏻‍🍳 so you never miss a Greek recipe!

Spoiler alert!! Greeks dont consume goat cheese!! We do always smell like garlic, olives and Pastichio, however.

This delicious Goat Cheese Dip is the perfect holiday appetizer or potluck dish. It combines tangy, creamy goat cheese with savoury olives for a unique flavor sensation. This dip will truly impress your guests or your family, and it’s so easy to make.

If you haven’t warmed your olives before serving them, you’re truly missing out! Warming olives enhance their flavour and change the eating experience!

Opens up flavors: The heat allows the olives’ flavors to shine through.  
Plumps and softens: The olives swell and become more tender.  
Absorbs more flavour: The firm flesh of the olives absorbs more flavour from the oil and other ingredients they’re cooked with.  
Feels fancy: Some say warmed olives feel special, especially if you’ve had them at restaurants.   Some recommend using olives with seeds still in them, as the pits help with flavour and heat retention.

🤤👩🏻‍🍳Comment ‘recipe’ below if you want the recipe for My Greek Marinated Spatchcock Poulet. It will be sent directly to your DMs. Tap the link in my bio to access our website. 👩🏻‍🍳🤤

Welcome to Episode 13 of My Big Fat Greek Christmas, a series where I share Holiday recipes from my Greek Childhood! Today, we are making my favourite way to enjoy Chicken with a French twist! Be sure to follow 👩🏻‍🍳🔪 @foodbymaria 🔪👩🏻‍🍳 so you never miss a Holiday recipe!

Surprise, it’s Spatchcock! Spatchcock Chicken is the most delicious way to prepare a whole chicken for roasting. Essentially you remove the backbone and flatten the chicken to cook. This method provides quicker cooking time, crispier skin, and more flavor.

Speaking of flavour, last year I introduced you all to a new method of making Greek Chicken which involves mustard so this holiday season I wanted to French it up by using @MailleCanada Dijon Mustard in my viral Greek Chicken Marinade. It’s as simple as combining all the marinade ingredients, whisking them up and then slathering them over your prepared dried, whole chicken!

Whether your holiday table features classic roast turkey, buttery tourtière, or a vibrant spread of diverse dishes, there’s one thing we all agree on: holiday meals are at the heart of our celebrations. This year, @MailleCanada is here to help elevate your festive feasts with bold flavours and a touch of French flair (that also works well with Greek flavours)!

Try this method next time you’re looking to impress a crowd while keeping your to-do list to a minimum (hello low lift recipe) with maximalist flavours!
