Flaounes / Eggless Flaounes(Cypriot Savoury Easter Cheese Pies)

Flaounes are savoury cheese pies that are baked for Greek Orthodox Easter. This recipe is part of April Month's We Knead to Bake. Since I was not able to participate that month I am posting it now.This Flauones/cypriot bread is little different from the Other traditional Easter bakes, as
this Flaounes are savory bread with goodness of cheese and some addition of special spices
Meheleb and Mastic which are widely used in Greek and Middle Eastern Cuisines. Flaounes filling are made of salty kind of cheese and it can be replaced with haloumi cheese, greek cheese, English Cheddar, some Italian cheese like Parmesan or Romenalo Cheese.

In this Flaounes Aparna suggested Mozzarella, Sharp Cheddar & Paneer combo. Since we don't like cheddar i used mozzarella, little Parmesan & feta cheese with other filling ingredients.Also i skipped Mehelab & Mastic, the former one is made by powdering the dried pits of wild Mediterranean cherry and mastic is the dried resin of a shrub.As it is loaded with cheese and mild sweet of raisins, my kids loved it a lot. Once in a while or on special occasions its good to enjoy such rich and delicious breads. I made as Eggless Flaounes by referring Priya's Eggless Flaounes.

Honey Cheese Corn Muffins / Honey & Cheese Corn Muffins

I really missed by space and blogging for the past few days. One or the other things kept me away from blogging and its almost a week i posted any recipe here. Blogging is one of the best stress reliever to me and i felt relaxed after posting a recipe by reading all my fellow bloggers lovely comments  :)
So today i wanted to share a recipe which i made few weeks back, easy and delicious Corn Muffins with the goodness of honey and cheese. This is the first time i tried muffins with corn meal and i loved it. I had some mozzarella cheese left after using it in my Pinwheels Pizza and Onion Cheese Pull Apart bread and wanted to use it and searched for a recipe and i found this recipe interesting. But i halved the recipe and slightly modified it to my taste. Added some chili flakes to it and loved the spicy, sweet n bland flavor of corn meal. Do give it a try!!
