To make baked Ezine cheese, place a thick slice in a small oven-safe dish and bake until softened with lightly browned edges. Add herbs or a little olive oil if you like, and serve it warm before it cools and firms up.
Ezine cheese is a Turkish brined white cheese associated with the Ezine district in Çanakkale. It is traditionally made from sheep’s milk, sometimes blended with goat’s or cow’s milk, and has a savory, tangy flavor that stands out when baked.
No, baked Ezine cheese usually softens rather than melting into stretchy strands like mozzarella. Its texture can become creamy, while the edges brown; a thick slice and a small baking dish help keep it from crumbling apart.
Thyme, chili flakes, black seed, and a drizzle of olive oil all pair well with baked Ezine cheese. You can add sliced peppers too, but taste the cheese first before adding salt because brined Ezine cheese can already be quite salty.
Serve baked Ezine cheese hot with crusty bread, tomatoes, and olives for a simple savory plate. It also works alongside roasted vegetables or a green salad, which balance the cheese’s rich, salty flavor.
Yes, feta can stand in for Ezine cheese in a baked recipe, but the result will not taste identical. Feta’s saltiness and firmness vary by style, so choose a block that holds its shape and adjust extra salt accordingly.
Lightly oil a small oven-safe dish before adding baked Ezine cheese. A snug dish also contains the cheese if it softens or releases moisture, making it easier to lift out and serve without breaking the slice.
Yes, you can make baked Ezine cheese in an air fryer by placing it in a small heatproof dish rather than directly in the basket. Check it as it cooks, since the cheese can soften or release oil quickly.
Baked Ezine cheese can release moisture as it heats, especially if the cheese is wet from brine or cooked for too long. Pat the slice dry before baking and take it out once softened and lightly browned.
Cool leftover baked Ezine cheese, cover it, and refrigerate it promptly. Reheat it gently in an oven or pan until warm; microwaving can make the texture overly soft or watery. Discard it if it has been left out for an extended time.

Baked Ezine cheese is Ezine cheese from the Çanakkale region of north-western Turkey, warmed in the oven until soft and fragrant. Traditionally, Ezine cheese can be made with sheep’s, goat’s and cow’s milk. Baking brings out its tangy, savoury intensity; it can be served plain or with herbs and spices.
In Turkey, it may appear at breakfast with bread, or be served warm as part of a meze spread. Tomatoes, peppers and fresh bread make easy accompaniments. It is rich in protein and fat, with very little carbohydrate, so a modest portion alongside vegetables makes a satisfying plate without letting its richness dominate.
