Greek Ham, Egg & Cheese Crepe
This is a crepe that satisfies in just about any way you like! Feel free to swap out crumbled sausage or bacon for the ham. Kefalograviera or feta can also be used in place of the kasseri or in any combination (for a non-Greek version try mozzarella and/or parmesan).
PREP TIME: 10 minutes
COOKING TIME: 5 minutes
SERVINGS: 1
Kontos Savory Crepe
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 large eggs (or three egg whites), lightly beaten
4 ounces ham (sliced or diced)
4 ounces shredded kasseri cheese
1 scallion, green part, sliced, for garnish
1. Heat the crepe in a hot dry pan (no oil or butter needed) for 20 seconds on each side; set aside and cover to keep warm.
2. In skillet over medium heat, heat the oil until hot but not smoking. Add the eggs to the skillet and scramble with the ham and cheese until cooked through. Place the egg mixture in the center of the warm crepe and fold in all the sides toward the center. Sprinkle with scallion and serve immediately.

Smoked Salmon Greek Pizza
This is a Kontos one-stop ingredient list as they offer tzatziki, olives, and feta, along with their other impressive products. We found the gordita (a soft flatbread taco shell) to be a little thinner than other flatbreads, making it ideal for this thin-crust pizza, but feel free to use the Pizza Parlor Crust or another flatbread if you prefer a thicker pie.
PREP TIME: 15 minutes
COOKING TIME: 4 minutes
SERVINGS: 2 or 4 (or 6 appetizers)
Kontos Gordita, Pizza Parlor Crust, or other flatbread/pita
1 to 2 tablespoons chili or garlic oil
3 tablespoons tzatziki sauce
4 ounces smoked salmon, thinly sliced
2 ounces kalamata olives, sliced
2 ounces crumbled feta cheese
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
Caviar, capers, or anchovies (optional)
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Brush the gordita with the oil and place on a baking sheet. Heat the gordita for about 4 minutes (5 minutes for thicker flatbreads), until warm or slightly crisp.
2. Spread the gordita with tzatziki and layer with the salmon, olives, and feta. Arrange the onion slices over the top. Using a pizza cutter or a large sharp knife, cut the pizza into 2 slices for a main dish, 4 to serve as a side, or 6 for appetizers. Spoon a little caviar, sprinkle with capers, or add an anchovy slice in the center of each slice, if desired. Serve and enjoy!
