Saganaki Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cheese

    Cut the Kasseri cheese into 1/2-inch thick slices.

  2. 2

    Dredge the Cheese

    Coat each slice of cheese in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Fry the Cheese

    Carefully add the floured cheese slices to the hot oil. Fry until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the cheese from the pan and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Serve immediately with lemon wedges and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
