About Saganaki
Saganaki is a beloved Greek appetizer, traditionally made by frying a firm cheese like kefalotyri, graviera, or kasseri in olive oil or butter until it develops a golden, crispy crust. The dish is often flambéed tableside with a splash of brandy or ouzo and served with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. While its origins are firmly rooted in Greek cuisine, variations can include other ingredients like shrimp or mussels. Saganaki is rich in protein and calcium due to its cheese base, but it is also high in saturated fats and sodium, making it a dish best enjoyed in moderation. Olive oil or butter enhances the flavor but contributes additional calories. Pairing it with a fresh salad or vegetables can help balance its richness and provide a more nutrient-dense meal option.
