Preparation

  1. 1

    Slice the Cheese

    Cut the Aged Kasseri cheese into thick slices, about 1.5 cm (0.6 inches) thick.

    Prepare Coating

    In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking.

  2. 4

    Dredge each slice of cheese in the flour mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated. Shake off any excess flour.

  3. 5

    Fry the Cheese

    Carefully add the coated cheese slices to the hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and melted inside.

  4. 6

    Drain Excess Oil

    Once done, transfer the fried cheese to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

  5. 7
