Ingredients
- 1 piece saganaki cheese
- flour for dredging
- olive oil for frying
- 1/2 lemon cut into wedges
Instructions
- In a small skillet, heat the olive oil on medium-high heat. You want enough oil that the bottom of the skillet is well coated.
- Dredge cheese in flour.
- Once the oil is hot, add the cheese. Fry for a few minutes on each side until it's golden brown. It may stick a little, so use a metal spatula to loosen it and then flip it.
- Serve immediately with lemon juice squeezed over the cheese. If you wish, you can drain some of the oil prior to adding the lemon juice.
Notes
- If you can't find a cheese that's labeled as a saganaki cheese, try kefalograviera, kasseri, or graviera cheese.
- The skillet pictured is a 5" Lodge cast iron skillet. It works for a small piece of cheese :)
- If using a cast iron skillet, let it heat up, and cook the cheese on medium heat since it retains heat so well.
