1
Prepare the Cheese
Cut the Kefalograviera cheese into thick slices, about 1 inch each. This helps the cheese stay intact while frying.
2
Coat the Cheese
Dredge each slice of cheese in all-purpose flour, making sure to coat all sides evenly. Shake off any excess flour.
3
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
4
Fry the Cheese
Carefully add the floured cheese slices to the skillet. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
5
Seasoning
Once the cheese is golden and crispy, sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste.
6
Serve with Lemon
Remove the cheese from the skillet and place on a serving plate. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top before serving.
