Bouyiourdi is a Greek meze, a hot appetizer widely served in tavernas, made by layering feta cheese with tomatoes, peppers, oregano, and olive oil in an earthenware baking dish and baking it, with red pepper flakes typically included and kasseri cheese, onion, or garlic as optional additions. It is customarily served with pita or other bread for scooping up the melted cheese and vegetables. The dish originated in Thessaloniki and is considered essentially Thessalonian, and its name comes from the Turkish word buyurdu, meaning ordered.
