A delicious hot grilled cheese recipe, perfect for a summer party or midnight snack.
A classic Greek dish that merges the crunchy golden salty Kefalotryi, the syrupy sweetness of honey, and herbaceous earthy fresh oregano. It's simple but will leave you wanting more.
Ingredients:
- 170g Aphrodite Kefalotyri
- plain flour, for dusting
- extra virgin olive oil, for frying
- 4 sprigs oregano
- ¼ cup honey
- ½ lemon
Method:
- Rinse the Kefalotyri under cold water then coat with the flour. Shake off any excess flour.
- Cover the base of a non-stick frying with the oil and place over medium heat, cook the cheese for 2-3 minutes each side or until golden, adding the oregano sprigs in for the last minute.
- Remove the cheese and oregano and clean the pan.
- Return the pan to heat with the cheese and oregano, add the honey and lemon and cook for 1-2 minutes or until the honey is bubbling and the cheese is heated through. Squeeze the lemon over the top to serve.
