Ingredients (for 3)

Pantry basics not counted above: black pepper. Allergens: Dairy, gluten.

Method

  1. Prep the cheese

    Cut cheese into a slab about 1.5–2 cm thick. Pat dry.

  2. Coat

    Lightly wet the surface with cold water, then coat all sides in flour and shake off the excess.

  3. Pan-fry

    Heat oil over medium-high. Fry cheese for 2–3 minutes per side until deeply golden and crisp at the edges.

  4. Finish

    Transfer straight to a plate, squeeze over lemon and add oregano and black pepper if using.

  5. Serve immediately

    Saganaki's peak window is measured in minutes, not committee meetings.

Swap: Kefalograviera gives the most traditional result; halloumi is easier to find and still fries well.
