Notes

• Served: Served with
  • toasted bread,
  • tzatziki sauce,
  • a glass of cool white wine.
• Variations: 
  • Instead of feta, you can add any other cheese such as grated cheddar or try something spicier or with a strong taste.
  • Add canned mushrooms or/and crispy bacon. If you want to use fresh mushrooms, you will need a little more time to sauté them until most of their liquid has evaporated. But not completely because we need a little moisture for better cooking in our lasagna.
  • Adjust the amount of garlic and/or add some chili flakes according to your taste.
• Storage: Serve immediately and keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
