Chef's Tips
For a smoother consistency, add a tablespoon of milk or water while whipping the feta.
Adjust the amount of lemon juice and honey to your liking.
To avoid the pita bread from becoming tough, don't over grill them.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

Easy"This dessert continues the light and fresh theme while offering a subtle sweetness to finish the meal. The Greek yogurt panna cotta provides a creamy and cool counterpoint to the savory bowl, while the pistachios offer a textural crunch and nutty flavor, and the rosewater syrup adds an aromatic and floral note characteristic of Mediterranean desserts."
