About Saganaki feta

Saganaki Feta is a delicious appetizer rooted in Greek cuisine, celebrating the country's love for bold, flavorful cheeses. This dish features thick slices of feta cheese lightly coated in flour and pan-fried until golden and crispy on the outside, while remaining creamy and tangy inside. Often served with a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of herbs, it has a rich, savory profile that complements breads and salads. While feta is a good source of calcium and protein, the frying process adds extra fat and calories, making Saganaki Feta less ideal for regular consumption if you're watching your intake. However, its relatively small serving size and high flavor concentration can lend itself to mindful indulgence. This dish is a delightful way to explore Greek culinary traditions while enjoying the unique texture and taste of Greece's beloved feta cheese.
