If you decide to add crumbled cooked bacon, I’d use Oscar Meyer thick slice bacon….at least 1/2 of a pkg, or the whole thing, cooked, drained, and broken into smallish pieces. You need 2 cubes of butter (suggestion: Challenge Salted Butter which sometimes come in a 2 cube 1/2 pound pkg, or most often, a 4 cube 1 pound pkg)…. You can also strain it through a cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer. Then transfer it to a different bowl, trying to leave most of the solid particles behind. Once the butter turns a deep golden brown, and you start to smell a little bit of a nutty smell – it is ready! Transfer it to a heat-safe dish and let the milk particles sink to the bottom while it cools. I like to pick up the pan and swirl it around a little to help me see the color through the foam. Once the butter melts and gets hot, it will start to foam. You don’t want it to burn!! Start with a light colored pan, so you can see the color of the butter easier. The most important thing to remember when making brown butter is to cook it over medium heat.

Cooking the butter gives it this incredibly deep flavor that goes well with savory dishes, like this Mizithra Pasta, but also sweet dishes like our Brown Butter Pecan Pie! How to Make Brown Butter You might be thinking “What is brown butter? I’ve never seen that at the store,” and you’re right! Brown butter is made by cooking regular butter until it turns a lovely brown color. It is a little pricier of a cheese, but I promise it is so worth it!! Most stores sell it by the pound and offer different sized blocks that you can choose from. I usually have to look in the deli section of the grocery store in their “fancy” cheese display. The salt drying process gives it a salty flavor that adds so much to this dish! Where to Find Mizithra Cheeseįinding Mizithra cheese can be a little tricky. This harder type of Mizithra cheese is considered Greek cuisine’s parmesan cheese and is most commonly used to sprinkle over fresh pasta. When it is first made, it resembles ricotta cheese, but then it can be salt-dried into a harder cheese. Mizithra (sometimes spelled Myzithra) cheese is a Greek cheese made from goat’s and sheep’s milk. This recipe is very simple – only 3 ingredients – but it is sure to please any dinner crowd. I love when we can nail down a favorite dish from one of our favorite places. It was buttery and cheesy and I licked the plate clean every time. The absolute best part of the experience, though, was the Mizithra Pasta. I loved sitting in the streetcar and getting spumoni ice cream with every meal. I loved going to The Old Spaghetti Factory as a kid.
