4 servings
- 1 lb kefalograviera or halloumi cheese, cut into ½-inch-thick slabs
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp olive oil
For serving
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges
- 2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped (optional)
- crusty bread, for serving (optional)
Instructions

Pat the cheese slabs dry with paper towels. Spread the flour in a shallow dish and dredge each slab on all sides, pressing lightly so the flour adheres, then shake off any excess.

Heat the olive oil in a heavy-bottomed or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers and a pinch of flour dropped in sizzles immediately.
