Greek Cuisine
Saganaki could rank among the best appetizers on Earth, and it’s super easy to make yourself. "Saganaki" is an all-encompassing word for foods made in a specific kind of dish (and actually comes from the Turkish word sahan, which translates to “copper dish”), but its most delicious iteration is certainly the fried cheese. It typically begins with a sturdy cheese (think halloumi, graviera, kefalograviera, or goat’s milk feta cheese) dredged in flour, then fried in a small frying pan to ensure crispy brown edges. Then, the rest is up to you. Some restaurants in Greece serve it topped with honey and nuts, and others leave it plain, but no matter which way you slice it, it’s fried cheese, so it’s obviously delicious.
