Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

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

Steps:

  • 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.
