Manouri Me Kythoni: Fried Cheese W/ Quince Preserves image

Great little Mediterranean recipe that can be served as an appetizer or dessert. Also, a great option for brunch, or as a snack. Quince is known as the fruit of love and originates from the Island of Crete. If quince preserves aren't available, try any preserve or marmalade.
