"We broiled these in the oven a few weeks ago.
They turned out great, but took about 10 minutes longer to cook.

I made these and froze them, and thawed them, hetaed them up in the oven and served them on panini bread with garlic drssing, lettuce, tomato and onion. My dad was over for dinner, and both he, me the kids and my husband LOVED these! We are all Greek ffod fanatic after many trips to greece, so these really hit the spot. Thanks!
