Cheese and Emulsion

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Preparing the Cheese

    Slice the Kefalograviera cheese into thick cubes (about 1-inch each).

  2. 2

    Coating the Cheese

    Spread the all-purpose flour on a plate and coat each cheese cube with flour, shaking off any excess.

  3. 3

    Making the Ouzo-Honey Emulsion

    In a small bowl, mix the ouzo and honey until combined. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Frying the Cheese

    In a non-stick frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the floured cheese cubes and fry until golden brown on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  5. 5

    Serving

    Remove the fried cheese from the pan and drain on paper towels. Drizzle the ouzo-honey emulsion over the cheese, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
