Saganaki is one of the most beloved Greek appetizers—crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside, and bursting with flavor. Made with a slice of firm cheese that’s lightly floured and pan-fried until golden, this iconic meze is traditionally served with a fresh squeeze of lemon and a side of crusty bread or pita. Whether you’re preparing a Mediterranean-themed dinner or just looking for a quick and satisfying snack, Saganaki cheese is guaranteed to impress.
The best part? It comes together in minutes with just a few ingredients. All you need is a high-quality Greek cheese like kefalotyri, graviera, or kefalograviera, a bit of flour, and a hot pan. The crispy crust paired with melty cheese inside creates the perfect bite, especially when finished with a splash of fresh lemon juice. Simple, authentic, and absolutely irresistible.
