Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Feta

    Slice the feta cheese into rectangular pieces about 1 inch thick. This will help them hold their shape during cooking.

  2. 2

    Coat the Feta

    Dredge each slice of feta cheese in all-purpose flour, ensuring that all sides are coated evenly.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Olive Oil

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

  2. 4

    Fry the Feta

    Carefully place the floured feta slices in the hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

  3. 5

    Add Lemon

    Once the feta is cooked, remove it from the pan and place it on a serving dish. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the hot feta immediately.

Garnishing

  1. 6

    Add Garnish

    If desired, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley and a dash of black pepper over the feta for added flavor and presentation.
