🇬🇷 Greece recipe

Saganaki

Saganaki is one of the simplest and most dramatic Greek appetizers. A thick slab of firm cheese is lightly floured and pan-fried in olive oil until it develops a gorgeous golden crust while becoming wonderfully melty inside. Finished with a squeeze of fresh lemon and a shout of Opa, it is pure indulgence.
