Feta Saganaki

Feta Saganaki is a delightful Greek snack featuring golden-fried feta cheese, typically served with a drizzle of honey and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. This crispy, savory dish is perfect for sharing and pairs beautifully with a glass of ouzo or a refreshing salad.

Ingredients

• Feta cheese - 200 grams
• All-purpose flour - 50 grams
• Olive oil - 4 tablespoons
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon
• Honey - 1 tablespoon
• Fresh lemon - 1 for juice
• Fresh parsley - 1 tablespoon, chopped
• Salt - to taste

Steps

1. Cut the feta cheese into 1 cm thick slices and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
2. Spread the flour on a plate and lightly dust each slice of feta on both sides with flour, shaking off any excess.
3. In a non-stick frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat until hot.
4. Carefully place the floured feta slices in the pan and fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
5. Once cooked, remove the feta from the pan and place it on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
6. Drizzle the fried feta slices with honey and sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped parsley on top.
7. Serve immediately with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and enjoy your Feta Saganaki!
