Greek Pan Seared Cheese (Saganaki) Recipe Ingredients:
- 1 pound Kasseri or Kefalotiri Cheese
- 1 cup cold water
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 cup flour for coating

How to Make Saganaki:
Cut Cheese into half inch thick squares (about 3 inches wide).
Dip cheese into cold water to moisten, and then dip in the flour to coat.
