Saganaki Fried Cheese is a traditional Greek appetizer known for its rich and indulgent flavor. Made from firm cheeses like kefalotyri or graviera, the dish involves dipping the cheese in flour, then pan-frying it in olive oil until golden and crispy. Often finished with a splash of lemon juice, saganaki offers a tangy contrast to its buttery, savory profile. While high in protein and calcium due to the cheese, it is also calorie-dense and contains fats, including saturated fats. Olive oil provides heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, but the frying process increases overall fat content. Moderation is key when enjoying this delicious treat within a balanced diet.
