Very good. The sweetness of the mint and dill went perfectly with the savory egg and the salty feta. The dish fared well in the refrigerator heated up the next day too. To get 16 servings out of this, however, the pieces would need to be cut very small. I'd say 9 pieces would be more realistic, and even then something would need to be served alongside it to make a full meal. This is definitely something we're going to be making again.
