These delicious Greek biscuits were so interesting to make, I wasn't sure whether the biscuit would hold together or not, but the result was great. The biscuits were all puffed beautifully and golden-brown. The layer of filling made with feta, roasted bell pepper, and black olives was super flavorful. We only made half of the recipe, and we got 6 biscuits. They disappeared real fast...

Yum. The combination of asparagus and mushrooms inside the omelet was packed with flavor, and it went deliciously well with omelette.
