Saganaki

Pan-fried cheese with lemon and honey.

Ingredients · for 2 servings

• 250 g saganaki cheese
• Flour
• Olive oil
• Lemon
• Honey

Instructions

1. Cut the cheese into a slice about 1.5 cm thick and rinse briefly under cold water.
2. Dredge the moist surface in flour and shake off the excess.
3. Heat olive oil in a pan until very hot and fry the cheese for 1–2 min per side until golden brown – the crust should be crispy, the center soft.
4. Drizzle with lemon and serve right out of the pan.
5. Drizzle with a little honey if you like – eat it hot while the cheese stretches.
