Ingredients

  • 250 gr Kefalotyri , Charalambides-Christis
  • 60 gr EVOO , Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 50 gr all-purpose flour , seasoned with Oregano, Salt and Pepper
  • 20 ml Lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground Black Pepper

Instructions

  • Make sure that the Kefalotyri bought is squared and not in wedges. Then cut the cheese in long squares of 6-7 cm, 3-4 cm width and of about 1 cm thickness.
  • As you want to dredge the cheese in the flour, first take a wet towel and gently rub the cheese. Use kitchen paper to wipe most of the moisture and then dredge them lightly making sure that all sides of the cheese are dredged.
  • In a medium cast iron pan over medium heat pour the olive oil and a minute later when the oil has heated add the cheese and fry for 2-3 minutes per side until a nice crusty light golden color is created.
  • Serve immediately when hot while drizzling on them a bit of lemon juice.
