Instructions
- Grate the tomatoes do not drain all the liquids.
- Pass the rusk under running water (very quickly) and place on a plate. (Skip this step if you using bread). Cretan rusks are very hard but you do not want to soften them too much, you do not want a soggy dakos. It should still be crunchy but easily breakable.
- Add about 1 tablespoon of olive oil and let it absorb. (Please note that here in Greece we often add much more olive oil, but this amount works fine).
- Spoon the tomato on top, covering the whole rusk and then add the crumbled cheese.
- Drizzle with another teaspoon of olive oil and sprinkle with oregano. Top with a Kalamata olive
