Cheese Saganaki
Saganaki beautifully embodies the Greek philosophy of celebrating simple, high-quality ingredients. Made with local hard cheeses like kefalotyri, graviera, or kasseri, these cheeses have high melting points that create a perfectly golden crust while preserving their creamy interior.

Traditionally served as part of a meze spread, saganaki pairs wonderfully with crusty bread, a refreshing ouzo, or a glass of white wine like Gratsi White. This dish tantalizes the taste buds and reflects the warm, inviting spirit of Greek hospitality.
STEP 1
Prep the Cheese
Cut the cheese into thick slices (1–1.5 cm / ½ inch).
Dip each slice in water, then coat lightly with flour, shaking off excess.
Dip the floured slices into the beaten egg, then coat them in flour again for a crispier crust.
STEP 2
Fry
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat.
Fry the cheese slices for 2 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
STEP 3
Serve
Transfer to a plate, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top, and garnish with oregano or thyme if desired.
Serve immediately while hot!
