Saganaki is a really tasty of fried cheese snack. Halloumi or kasseri cheese is fried in butter and lemon. When the cheese is fried it takes a really nice texture. The outside is crispy and the inside is warm and chewy. It has a really nice salty and lemony flavour.

    When my daughter and I go to the Greek restaurants we always have Saganaki. You can buy what they call Saganaki cheese at the Mediterranean Market here. I think it is Kasseri, they don’t really know, but it sure is good, fried up, sprinkled with a little lemon juice and maybe ouzo or Cointreau!!!
