Cypriot Fried Haloumy Cheese Saganaki Haloumi
With gluten free option. A very quick to prepare tasty meze. We enjoy this as a delicious breakfast item or it could always be a snack! I serve it with pita bread but a crusty bread would be very good. Modified from the complete middle east cookbook by tess mallos, cyprus section.
Steps
Cut cheese into 1 / 4 inch slices , dip in water and dredge in flour if desired.
Heat enough oil in a small frying pan to cover base , fry cheese until slightly golden on each side.
Squeeze some lemon on top and serve with rest of the lemon wedges and a crusty bread or some pita to dip into the lemon flavoured oil.
