Saganaki
Saganaki is a popular Greek appetizer made from cheese that is pan-fried or grilled until it becomes golden and crispy on the outside while remaining soft and gooey inside. The most commonly used cheese for Saganaki is Kefalotyri, but other varieties like Halloumi or Feta can also be used. It is typically served hot, often with a squeeze of lemon juice on top.
This dish is often flambéed at the table, creating a dramatic presentation. Saganaki is usually enjoyed with bread or pita and is a staple in many Greek tavernas, making it a favorite among both locals and tourists.
