3 Ingredient Recipes: Saganaki (Fried Cheese)

feta cheese

💰Cheaper: ricotta

Ricotta provides a similar texture at a lower cost.

honey

🥗Healthier: agave syrup

💰Cheaper: maple syrup

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is more affordable and has a high smoke point.

Cut the keliteri cheese into equal rectangular portions, removing the rind before frying.

Wash each piece of cheese in warm water to soften it and help the flour stick.

Dust the cheese in a shallow dish filled with flour, ensuring larger chunks of flour stick to create crispy bits.

Heat a non-stick pan with a good amount of olive oil until hot.

Add the floured cheese to the pan and fry until it starts to brown and soften on one side.

Flip the cheese pieces over to fry the other side until crispy.

Serve the fried cheese with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the top.
