Saganaki Is The Cheesy Greek Appetizer Loaded With Flavor
BY MICHELLE WELSCH
Greek saganaki delivers satisfying bites of cheese that have been coated, fried,
and topped with a squeeze of lemon. Cutting into it yields an oozy, melting middle.
Made in under ten minutes, saganaki makes an impressive-looking dish dressed up with
a choice of honey, a sprinkling
of herbs, or fig jam.
Greeks use local cheeses that deliver gentle nuttiness, like graviera or kefalotyri, and kefalograviera or kasseri have a thickness and consistency that holds form when fried.
