Saganaki Cheese
The Greek Saganaki recipe (Greek fried cheese) is an easy Greek appetizer made with only three ingredients and ready in less than 10 minutes! Saganaki cheese is traditionally served straight from the pan, sizzling hot, with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to add a tangy contrast to the rich, savory flavor of the cheese.
If you love cheese as much as I do then you should not miss out on these recipes: Marinated Olive Cheese Ring and Breaded Mozzarella Cheese Sticks.
Yield: Serves 4
- 250 g Halloumi cheese, cut into 1/4 inch thick slices
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 lemon
Melt the butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the sliced cheese and fry until golden brown on both sides.
Pour lemon juice over the cheese and remove from heat.
Serve Saganaki hot with crusty bread.
