Pasos

  1. Drain the feta, pat it thoroughly dry with paper towels, then cut it into thick slices that will hold together well during cooking.
  2. Prepare three shallow bowls with the flour, beaten egg, and sesame seeds; the egg mixture should be smooth and well blended.
  3. Dredge each piece of feta in the flour, tapping off the excess, then coat it in the egg and finally the sesame seeds, pressing gently so they adhere.
  4. Heat the olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat; it is ready when a sesame seed immediately sizzles upon contact.
  5. Place the breaded feta in the skillet without moving it at first, then cook until a firm, golden crust forms on the first side.
  6. Flip carefully with a thin spatula and brown the other side until the cheese is hot in the center but still well contained within its crust.
  7. Drain briefly on paper towels; the saganaki should remain crispy and be served immediately, before the feta firms up.
  8. Plate on a ceramic dish, drizzle with honey, squeeze the lemon over the top, then finish with the oregano and a twist of black pepper.
