  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper

Pickled Onions

  • 1 small red onion, sliced thin

Toppings

  • 8 oz Sliced feta- We recommend French or Greek Sheep’s milk feta

Instructions

Heat vinegar until boiling with the sugar and the salt, and pour over the sliced onion; allow to marinate for an hour at room temperature.

Cook in a well-seasoned cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Cook approximately 5 minutes per side.

Spread the softened butter on the buns, and toast until golden brown.
