| Saganaki |
( Fried Cheese )
Add a squeeze of lemon and hopefully it will counter the cholesterol. Despite the obvious health implications, just remember that the Mediterranean diet is considered one of the healthiest in the world. :)

| Saganaki Directions |
Cut the cheese into a slab about 3/4" thick.
|
Moisten the cheese with water. Wipe off any excess. Rub the flour on evenly to each face of the cheese.
|
Heat the butter in the frying pan and sear the cheese.
|
As the cheese starts to brown pour the lemon juice over it and remove from the heat.
|
Serve hot with fresh pita or bread for dipping.
