Instructions

Tap a step number to check it off as you cook.

Slice the 8 oz kefalotyri cheese into slabs about 1/2 inch thick. If using a large block, cut it into pieces roughly 3–4 inches wide so they fit comfortably in the pan. Pat the 8 oz kefalotyri cheese completely dry with paper towels — this is the most important step for a crispy crust.

Uses

  • Kefalotyri Cheese

Place the ½ cup all-purpose flour in a shallow mixing bowl or plate. Working one piece at a time, quickly dip each slab of kefalotyri cheese in cold water (just a few seconds — you want it damp, not soaking), then immediately dredge it in ½ cup all-purpose flour on all sides, pressing gently so the ½ cup all-purpose flour adheres. Shake off any excess. The thin ½ cup all-purpose flour coating is what creates the golden crust.

Uses

  • All-Purpose Flour
  • Kefalotyri Cheese
  • Water
  • Medium-high

Heat the 3 tbsp olive oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet (cast iron or stainless steel are ideal) over medium-high heat. The 3 tbsp olive oil is ready when a pinch of all-purpose flour dropped in sizzles immediately. Do not use a non-stick pan — you need the high heat for a proper crust.

Uses

  • Skillet
  • Olive Oil
  • All-Purpose Flour
  • 2–3 min

Carefully lay the floured 8 oz kefalotyri cheese slabs into the hot 3 tbsp olive oil in a single layer. Do not move them. Fry for 2–3 minutes until the bottom is deeply golden-brown and a crust has formed. You'll see the edges start to look set and slightly melty.

Uses

  • Kefalotyri Cheese
  • Olive Oil
  • 1–2 min

Flip the 8 oz kefalotyri cheese carefully using a thin spatula and cook the other side for another 1–2 minutes until equally golden. The 8 oz kefalotyri cheese should be puffed and starting to ooze at the edges. Work quickly — overcooked saganaki will melt through entirely.

Uses

  • Spatula
  • Kefalotyri Cheese

Transfer immediately to a serving plate or serve directly in the pan. Squeeze 1 whole lemon juice generously over the top right at the table. Garnish with chopped flat leaf parsley, a pinch of dried 1 pinch of oregano, and optional 1 pinch of red pepper flakes. Serve at once with 1 piece of crusty bread to scoop up the melty 8 oz kefalotyri cheese. Saganaki waits for no one — eat it hot!

Uses

  • Lemon
  • Flat Leaf Parsley
