  4. In another bowl mix the cream cheese, the feta crumbles, the oregano and the basil.
  5. Divide the batter to the two cheesecake molds and level it.
  6. Put in the fridge for couple of hours to stabilize.

Tips
  1. If you cannot find barley rusk, use whatever is handy for you, it would be better if it is whole grain.
  2. Start by adding 70 gr. / 2.5 oz. of feta try it and if you want it more salty add some more. It is completely up to you.
  3. If you want it to be really skinny, use margarine instead of butter and drizzle couple of tsp of olive oil per cheesecake.
