Speca Me Djath- Peppers with Feta and Eggs
Piperka as I grew up calling it or speca means peppers in Albanian, djath means cheese in this case feta cheese. One of the first foods that I remember eating when I was a little girl was peppers and feta. My Grandfathers favourite! Especially when the peppers came from our garden. We would always have watermelon at the table as well, watermelon and feta cheese goes so well together.
Today is April 12, my grandfather’s birthday he would have been 100, he was born in 1912. He passed away 13 years ago this coming May, I miss him dearly! This post is dedicated to my Grandfather Haxhi.

Veggie and Cheese Pide
I love the combination of cheese and veggie in this pide! Its even better with roasted red peppers! You can make it with a variety of veggies, sometimes I add mushrooms and olives to the mix! Any veggie will do, the more the merrier! You can also make this with store bought flat bread, I get mine from a Middle Eastern Bakery, they work out perfect on those rushed days, you can also use pizza dough.
