Ingredients
- 8 ounces halloumi cheese or firm feta
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- About 1 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Cut the cheese into triangles that are a little more than 1/2-inch-thick. Put the flour on a large plate.
- Pour olive oil about 1/4-inch deep in a medium skillet. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until very hot, but not smoking.
- Dredge the cheese in the flour on both sides and fry, turning once, until golden brown on both sides and soft in the center, about 2 minutes per side for halloumi or 1 minute per side for a creamier feta. Drain on paper towels.
- Serve the cheese hot, sprinkled with the oregano leaves and with lemon wedges on the side.

Reviews
I made this last night with the Beef Moussaka, DELICIOUS! Both are a keeper
Excellent appetizer or topper for a Greek salad. I used feta and it was delicious with a spritz of lemon.
