Saganaki - Pan-seared Greek Cheese

Enjoy this simple yet delicious traditional Greek meze with a last minute squeeze of a lemon and some crusted bread on the side. Made with only four ingredients and ready in less than 10 minutes!

1/2 lb Graviera cheese (you can use Kefalograviera, Kasseri or Kefalotyri)

1/4 cup all purpose flour

4 Tbsp of AlEv Oil Co. EVOO

1/2 lemon

To prepare, slice the cheese into approx. 3" x 3" and 1/2" thick pieces. If you cut the cheese thinner, the Saganaki will melt in the pan. Place the cheese under running water and then dredge into the flour. Then shake off the excess flour. Add AlEv Oil Co. EVOO to the pan and as soon as the oil is heated, add the cheese and fry for a few minutes on each side, flipping the Saganaki carefully with a spatula, until golden brown. Serve while still smoking hot.
