Saganaki - Greek Fried Cheese

Step 1

Take the slice of cheese and dip it in cold water, then in white flour, shaking to remove excess and smoothing it with your fingers.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small pan under medium heat. Once hot, place the cheese in the pan and fry for about 2 minutes than flip carefully (I use a thin rubber spatula). Be careful not to let the crust slide off. Fry on the other side for about 2 minutes. The crust should be golden.

Step 3

Remove from pan and place on a plate, squeeze some lemon over it and serve right away.
