Cut the cheese into strips 2 " wide and 1/2" thick.

RECIPE BACKSTORY
wedges and I like crisp Pita Bread Pieces. If you cannot get the Greek cheese you may in a pinch use Italian Provolone - I had to use this because I didn't plan far enough ahead to get the good Greek Cheese.The recipe is simple and very good.
