About Saganaki cheese
Saganaki cheese is a traditional Greek dish named after the small frying pan used to prepare it. Typically made with firm cheeses like kefalotyri, kasseri, or graviera, this appetizer is pan-seared to form a golden crust while maintaining a soft, gooey interior. Its bold flavors pair well with fresh lemon juice and bread, though it's often flambéed tableside for added flair. Rich in protein and calcium, saganaki offers some nutritional benefits for bone health. However, its high fat and sodium content make it a treat best enjoyed in moderation. As a staple of Greek meze platters, Saganaki is loved for its indulgent texture and savory taste, but balance it as part of a varied diet to reduce excessive salt and calorie intake.
