Step 1
To prepare this super easy feta saganaki, start by cutting the feta cheese into 1 block approx. 2cm or 1 inch thick.
Step 2
Crack the egg into a bowl and whisk it with a fork.
Step 3
In another bowl add the flour and the pepper and using a spoon mix to combine.
Step 4
Dip the feta cheese into the whisked egg and then roll into the flour. You want the feta cheese entirely coated with flour.
Step 5
Pour your oil to the frying pan until it is about 1 cm / 0.5 inch full.
Step 6
Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it has reached 180C/350F. If you don’t have a kitchen thermometer, drip a drop of the egg in the pan. If it sizzles immediately your oil is about the right temperature.
Step 7
Fry the feta until nicely coloured. Use a slotted spoon to flip the feta saganaki over carefully, so that it is nicely coloured on both sides. (about 2 minutes each side)
Step 8
When done, place on some kitchen paper to absorb the extra oil.
Step 9
Squeeze a few drops of fresh lemon on top (or the honey and sesame seeds) and serve your feta saganaki while still warm!
