Method

Cheese Preparation

  1. 1

    Cut the Cheese

    Slice the Kefalotyri cheese into 1-inch thick pieces. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.

  2. 2

    Coat the Cheese

    Place the all-purpose flour in a shallow dish. Dredge each piece of cheese in the flour, ensuring all sides are coated. Shake off any excess flour.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Ensure the oil is hot enough to fry the cheese but not so hot that it smokes.

  2. 4

    Fry the Cheese

    Carefully add the floured cheese pieces to the pan, making sure not to overcrowd them. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy.

  3. 5

    Drain Excess Oil

    Once fried, use a slotted spatula to remove the cheese from the pan and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

Serving

  1. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Arrange the fried cheese on a serving plate. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
