Saganaki Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Cheese

   Cut the Kefalotyri cheese into thick slices, about 1 inch wide.

2. 2

   Coat the Cheese

   Dredge each slice of cheese in all-purpose flour, ensuring that it is evenly coated on all sides. Shake off any excess flour.

3. 3

   Heat the Oil

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

4. 4

   Fry the Cheese

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

5. 5

   Serve

   Once the cheese is golden and sizzling, remove it from the pan and place it on a serving plate. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the cheese, garnish with parsley, and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
