This is very close to my Grandma's recipe. She called it Pita, and instead of Feta cheese, she used large curd cottage cheese. It makes it easier for the little ones to enjoy it. If you are really daring, you can also use the same filling and roll them into triangles, but eating the cut squares is just fine!
