A classic Greek dish of creamy full-fat yogurt topped with golden honey, toasted walnuts, and a touch of cinnamon. Perfect as a light dessert, breakfast, or snack, this simple yet elegant treat is rich in texture and flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups full-fat strained Greek yogurt
- ¾ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup walnut halves or large pieces

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Spread walnuts on a baking tray and toast for 7–8 minutes until golden and fragrant.

Notes
