Ingredients

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

1
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.
2
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.
