In Greek: μανούρι με κυδώνι, pronounced mah-NOO-ree meh kee-THO-nee
This dish is another example of the versatility of Greek foods. I have seen this dish recommended as an appetizer, and it also works well as a dessert, with brunch, or as a snack. Greek manouri cheese is a goat cheese and can be substituted if manouri is hard to find. The quince preserves are fabulous but other preserves can be used.
