INGREDIENTS

  • 250 gr. any hard cheese, kefalotyri Parmesan, Gruyere or Greek Cypriot haloumi
  • 50 grams butter
  • lemon juice of 1/2 lemon
  • black pepper

METHOD

Cut the cheese into 1 cm thick slices. Heat the butter in a frying pan and put the slices in. Turn the heat down a little and let it cook for 1-2 minutes until it bubbles. It should not turn brown, but should look creamy and sticky. In Greece the cheese is usually cooked in small frying pans, so they can be taken straight to the table. Sprinkle a little lemon juice on top and some black pepper and offer it with fresh bread.

You dont have to add pepper, i went to greece over the summer, most restaruants didnt put pepper in it. and with the other dude,extra virgin olive oil, butter does not make it taste like the actual greek way.
