Saganaki is a popular Greek appetizer made from cheese, typically fried until golden and crispy. The most common types of cheese used are kefalotyri or halloumi, which have a high melting point, allowing them to be cooked without losing their shape. It is often served with a squeeze of lemon juice and accompanied by bread. The dish is named after the small frying pan, called a saganaki, in which it is cooked. Saganaki is enjoyed in many Greek tavernas and is a favorite among locals and tourists alike, often served as a delicious start to a meal.
